Double-blind review. The reviewing process is relatively fast. Nearly 2000 papers are submitted each year, but less than 100 are accepted, making the acceptance rate low. The editor-in-chief no longer pursues impact factor, and the quality of the journal is increasing. Wishing IJES all the best

Large number of submissions, few acceptances. Double-blind review. It was once highly popular in the country. The editor-in-chief no longer pursues impact factor, and hopes the journal will continue to improve！

This journal has a relatively small number of submissions, with varied quality, becoming a backyard for all editors. You can even find many flawed papers

I had the privilege of having a paper accepted in the 2020 small workshop. I feel that the editor-in-chief and the reviewers paid great attention to the innovation, theoretical depth, and writing aspect of the paper. This journal is well-known in the field of solid mechanics in Europe and America. I hope that IJES will continue to prosper.

A Unified High-order Model for Size-dependent Vibration of Nanobeam Based on Nonlocal Strain/stress Gradient Elasticity with Surface Effect  

Reviewer #1: The paper examines the analysis of different beam kinematics by taking into account both surface elasticity and nonlocal Eringen-type models of stress gradient elasticity. The idea of comparing various beam models appears to be reasonable.

I submitted eleven articles, but all of them were rejected. The difficulty was too great, but unfortunately, our school highly regards this magazine.

May I ask if only the corresponding author can see the submission status of this journal?

Our group focuses on the intersection of solid mechanics and materials. We have submitted to JMPS and EML before, but for this particular journal, we have submitted a total of 9 times from 2018 until now, and all of them have been rejected. Six papers were directly rejected without review, and the remaining three were reviewed by 2-3 reviewers who were quite strict. There cannot be any flaws, and the results were all "lack of novelty". It's frustrating. We don't know what type of articles the editor is looking for. The acceptance rate is extremely low. They receive around 1500-2000 submissions per year but only publish less than 100 papers. It's extremely difficult to get a paper published.

JMPS acceptance rate is 0.25, IJSS acceptance rate is 0.24, PRL acceptance rate is 0.2, this journal's acceptance rate is 0.05, even more difficult than NC, double-blind peer review, 4 reviewers, extremely challenging, all top experts, the questions are also very tricky, review process takes six months, rejected after major revisions twice, it's too difficult. I would be content to publish one article in my lifetime.

The editor is no longer pursuing impact factors. The quality of the papers is much higher than in previous years, and we can no longer accept template-based works. It's too difficult.

I submitted my work in September last year, but there was no response in between. In March this year, I received a rejection without even undergoing the review process. It took a whole six months, and I have no idea what happened during that time.

I sent a reminder once, but there was no response from the editor, only a reply from the publisher's staff. After the rejection, there were no comments or feedback provided. I was extremely surprised, so I sent another letter to inquire, but still received no response from the editor.

I am completely frustrated; I have never encountered such a situation before. It has reached the peak of being a waste...

The real-time impact factor has dropped to 6.24, which is a significant decline.

Already rejected after submission, the editor has provided an opportunity to transfer to a partner journal of IJES called "Applications in Engineering Science". This journal seems to not be SCI-indexed and was newly established in 2020. Does anyone have any information about this journal's partner?

Completely agree with the view on the 75th floor! Just look at J N Reddy, Fellow of the National Academy of Engineering, who had published 18 articles in this journal in 45 years from 1974 to the present, and you must know how awesome this journal is. This is the publication record of J N Reddy: 2018 (2), 2016 (2), 2015 (1), 2014 (1), 2013 (1), 2011 (1), 2010 (1), 2007 (1), 2004 (1), 1994 (1), 1989 (2), 1985 (1), 1978 (1), 1976 (1), 1974 (1)

After “with editor” for 82 days, I received comments from 4 reviewers. The reviewers are very responsible and the questions are very detailed. The first reviewer asked 13 questions. Many of the questions hit the nail on the head of the manuscript without mentioning rejection and acceptance. The second one asked 9 questions. The questions are very professional and detailed, but the overall opinions are relatively optimistic. The third one recommended a rejection, saying that the manuscript was not innovative enough and there was no essential innovation! The fourth one said that the manuscript is flawed, but it can be modified! But unfortunately, it was still rejected. The quality of the journal is very good, but the volume of publications is very low (105 articles). Sometimes it really depends on the luck. This was not the case in previous years!

Journal is of good quality and focus on innovation. I majored in multi-scale material optimization design; the editor-in-chief was very interested. The writing was not good at the beginning, the editor-in-chief asked me to revise it carefully. I supplemented my stimulation for nearly a month. It was accepted in the second review. Received 20 October 2018, Revised 23 December 2018, Accepted 20 January 2019, Available online 6 March 2019. The editor-in-chief was outsourced in India, and the review was very slow. Only status of with editor was available, no under editor. I browsed many comments on this journal, Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering (CMAME) and Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids (JMPS), or International Journal of Pharmaceutics (IJP), International Journal of Solids and Structures (IJSS). I don’t think there is good or bad. Those can be published on JMPS, are not surely suitable for IJES or CMAME, everyone focuses on different points. There is no need to say which one is better, which one is inferior. These journals are all good, as long as the content is innovative. But the acceptance rate of this journal is very low. It is very good that all are double-blinded. As I know, many other journals of mechanics are mutually reviewed. It is easy for insiders’ articles to be accepted, but it is not for sure of this journal.

Powerful journal!The real-time impact factor broke through 8.6, and the breakthrough 10 is just around the corner.Unfortunately, the team has selectd three times, all three shots and three rejections.

This particular problem is of too narrow an interest for a general engineering journal such as IJES. I suggest you submit it to a more specialized publication,

Take a look at the American Academy of Engineering academician j.n. reddy from 1974 to the present,After publishing 18 articles in this journal for 45 years, I know how popular this journal is.This is the publication record of j.n. reddy:2018 (2)2016 (2)2015 (1)2014 (1)2013 (1)2011 (1)2010 (1)2007 (1)2004 (1)1994 (1)1989 (2)1985 (1)1978 (1)1976 (1)1974 (1)

Many big cows in the world are submitted on it, but because of the novelty of the content, it is easy to be commented. Since 1974, a total of 753 comments have been published.2018 (8)2017 (10)2016 (12)2015 (16)2014 (15)2013 (9)2012 (25)2011 (12)2010 (17)2009 (13)2008 (4)2007 (4)2006 (10)2005 (5)2004 (9)2003 (12)2002 (4)2001 (7)2000 (9)1999 (7)1998 (14)1997 (9)1996 (15)1995 (16)1994 (17)In the past 45 years, a total of 6,567 articles have been published, and 753 articles have been commented.In other words, the probability of the paper being commented is 11.4%.It is enough to explain the advancement and newness of this journal!!!
