In addition, there have not been any particularly outstanding works in my research field in recent CE journals. Therefore, it is not appropriate to regard CE as the top journal or premier journal in coastal engineering solely based on its difficulty in publishing

One month after submission, the feedback was received from two reviewers.
One reviewer gave vague suggestions which were difficult to follow for revisions. Finally, they mentioned that they originally wanted to recommend major revisions, but due to poorly written introduction (suspected lack of innovation), they had to reject the submission.
The other reviewer provided a 5-page attachment with detailed comments pointing out various areas for improvement (a total of 46 issues). They believed that the manuscript content was good and suitable for the journal, so they recommended major revisions.
The editor ultimately rejected the submission and invited a resubmission after revisions.
After resubmission half a month later, the review cycle took two months, and in the end:
One reviewer believed that our acceptance of the submission invitation was our rebuttal, and they exploded with wild and unfounded criticisms, deeming the manuscript not worthy at all, and strongly requesting the editor to reject it. Truly perplexing.
The other reviewer supplemented a few more questions due to their extensive comments, suggesting additional points that still needed to be addressed, along with revision suggestions.
The editor ultimately rejected the submission. It was truly exhausting, as we had diligently revised for half a month and tried our best. We resubmitted to another journal (OE).
Personally, I believe there must be reasons why CE was removed from the TOP category, even though OE was removed as well. Editors should at least carefully consider the reviewers' feedback, as some of it is truly unreasonable.

CE is not difficult because of the content, but due to some neurotic reviewers

CE was kicked out of the top zone and OE was also kicked out of the top zone. Some journals have moved from the second zone to the first zone. Who do you think will be the top next year or in the years to come? Or is it the king without a crown?

Department: Ocean, currently only one left in Zone 1, just promoted from Zone 2. Ocean is no longer TOP

Top is down, isn't even in the first division anymore, all for the sake of catering to a certain journal, truly disgusting

Just got one paper accepted recently. The review efficiency of CE has improved lately. Two reviewers raised a lot of questions. In the first round of review, reviewer 1 was critical and reviewer 2 was accepting. The editor requested major revisions. After revisions, reviewer 1 was still not satisfied but reviewer 2 agreed for acceptance. The editor then made the decision to accept after reviewing the paper themselves

The following text translates to English as: "Well-recognized journals in the field of coastal engineering, with professional peer reviewers."

Key top-level journals in the field indeed.

This journal is very suitable for water transportation technology workers to engage in academic exchanges and publish their works.

Brother, have you figured this out? This is indeed difficult. I am from the Department of Marine Engineering. It has been several years since we had a student who succeeded. Some people from the coast have succeeded. No exaggeration, this is definitely the top journal in the Department of Marine Engineering.

The coastal engineering ace journal usually has top experts in the industry as reviewers, whose opinions are profound and sharp, making it difficult.

A top journal in the field of coastal engineering. The manuscript will be sent for review within 10–15 days after submission, and the first review speed is about 1 month.

Comparatively well recognized, this journal’s hit rate is between 20% and 50%.
