8.26 Xiaoxiu Two reviewers have completed their reviews, but the editor only provided feedback on three specific issues from one of the reviewers.

Speed is not the main issue, the key is whether it can pass the review. The speed mainly depends on whether the reviewers are willing to accept it. I saw in other comments that the editor of Wear will review and provide some review comments, but this time my editor did not provide any comments. Based on one reviewer's rejection, I was given a rejection and resubmission, unfortunately the person who rejected the resubmission still accepted it. Usually, this journal only needs two reviewers to accept the review. Good luck to you and me!

I don't know when I will get the results. I'm feeling anxious because I urgently need this article.

2025.01.20 First submission
2025.03.29 Rejection (Reviewer 1: raised 10 minor issues; Reviewer 2: harshly criticized lack of innovation and rejected; Editor did not give opinion and suggested resubmission)
2025.06.23 Resubmission (Got busy and delayed this, wanted to gamble on Reviewer 2 not taking it and getting a new reviewer)
2025.06.26 Editor sent for review again
2025.07.17 Major revision (Invited 4 reviewers, ultimately only two accepted, Reviewer 1 raised 7 minor issues for revisions; Reviewer 2 provided 40 detailed suggestions for changes, very meticulous; It was the first time I received so many review comments, again mentioned that the work done was meaningless, felt a bit disheartened, I work in R&D for a state-owned enterprise, the content of the submission has already been applied for international and domestic patents, and has been implemented to generate benefits, maybe there is still a gap between engineering and academia)
2025.08.03 Made adjustments for over 40 suggestions, resubmitted!
2025.08.05 Editor sent for review again
2025.08.08 Two reviewers accepted the invitation, but feeling uncertain, will provide updates later
Overall, Editor Alfons Fischer is very friendly and efficient, grateful to both reviewers and editor regardless of the outcome!
Besides Wear and Friction International, are there any other recommended journals for publishing friction studies?

Is there still hope after resubmitting the revised version?

For a month, there has been no response from them. Emails inquiring about the situation only receive apologies without any action being taken.

Submitted on December 4, 2024;
Received editorial comments on December 10, 2024;
Resubmitted on December 25, 2024;
Received reviewer comments on April 28, 2025;
Submitted revised manuscript on May 22, 2025;
Accepted on May 31, 2025, totaling nearly 7 months.

The second article "Wear" was accepted, but still as slow as ever.
The manuscript was only reviewed by the editor for a week, with fewer editorial comments this time, but had to be resubmitted due to issues with the submission system.
After resubmission, a lot of time was spent on finding reviewers, with the second reviewer taking a long time to provide feedback.
Eventually, a third reviewer was found, and both reviewers' feedback was mostly positive. The revised manuscript was submitted three weeks later, and accepted 10 days after that.
This time, the editor was Dr. Martin Dienwiebel, who had previously reviewed several manuscripts submitted by him as a reviewer. This editor was relatively more relaxed in comparison.

Submitted on January 2nd, the initial review by the editor was done on January 20th, with some suggestions provided. After submitting in February, the manuscript underwent a two-month review process, with minor revisions made before being accepted for publication. The editor is very responsible, but the review process is relatively long.

Hello, may I ask if your article is related to wear or erosion of coatings?

Over four months with the editor, inquired four times, with no response or changes.

According to the comments of the reviewers, we have replied point by point, mainly expressing the possibility of revisions and the unreasonable demands of the reviewers. The editing team is still good, as long as the changes are reasonable, the chances of success are high.

I am truly fed up, it's been almost half a year since I submitted my work and there has been no response. It's been a terrible submission experience.

Could you please explain why it is mentioned that my hand-drawn images and tables should not appear at the beginning and end? Aren't we supposed to upload each image separately? Also, my hand-drawn images and tables are not even together, so why is this being mentioned as an issue?

No, my manuscript has been with the editor for almost a month, and then under review for over four months without any updates...

How long has it been since I submitted it? My two-month-old work is still in the hands of the editor.

Excuse me, have you been submitted for 4 months? Mine has been submitted for two months and is still in the hands of the editor. This speed is really unacceptably slow.
