It may be a new method, with 7 experts agreeing to review. The first round of review took 7 months, with feedback received from 6 reviewers. Responses were provided one by one. The second round of review lasted for six months, with 4 reviewers agreeing and 2 reviewers having disputes. Continued responses were made, and over a month later, the 2 reviewers had further comments, but the Associate Editor (AE) approved, so only the AE needed to see the third round of revisions. The manuscript was returned on a Friday, possibly during a holiday, and no one handled it over the weekend. However, it changed to "Under review" on Monday night, and was directly accepted on Tuesday night.

Special thanks to the AE for the opportunity. It was a tough submission process, and the reviewers' comments were very professional, some of which exceeded the author's abilities, but every effort was made to resolve and explain them, ultimately gaining the AE's approval. Will continue to submit in the future.

There is a 12-hour time difference with the AE, and typically receive review decisions in the midnight and early morning hours.

Same question, are the figures and tables not included in the main text but rather placed directly after the references?

Is the title list of this picture a table for drawing a picture? Or is the picture listed behind the manuscript? It should just be a list of pictures, right?

Review process was very slow, possibly due to difficulty in finding reviewers in the specific field. Detailed explanations were provided for reviewers who leaned towards rejection. Reviewers' comments were all professional, with different focuses. After revisions, the paper was accepted, but unfortunately the subject area of aerospace is rated relatively low

After being hired, they are asking me to remove the images from the manuscript, and also to reference the images by file name. What does this mean?

20220412 Submission,
20220413 Under review,
20220630 Notice of major revisions, given 45 days, opinions from 3 reviewers, professional opinions, favorable evaluation of the initial draft
20220813 Return of major revisions
20220923 Second round of reviews received, given 15 days, opinions from 3 reviewers, few issues
20221005 Return of second revisions
20221124 Official website status shows "accept as is," then according to email requirements, modify the formatting and submit a final draft on the website along with relevant materials.
20221213 Editor sends email officially notifying acceptance,
During the Production phase, the author needs to check the website daily to view the status of the paper and assist in making necessary revisions. Prompt replies are required.
Overall, the process from submission to finding reviewers was completed in 2 days, which is very fast. If the revision process is even faster, the overall time can be shortened. The opinions of the reviewers were very reasonable and helpful in improving the paper. The process took 8 months in the field of aerospace, which cannot be considered slow but also not fast compared to 5 to 6 months in the field of robotics and automation control.
I am preparing to submit to this journal again in the future.

Later, in the production stage, the author needs to log in to the official website every day to check the status of the paper. You will be asked to assist in modifying the journal's proofreading, and timely responses are necessary until the galley proofs are sent for your confirmation.
Overall, the process from submission to finding reviewers was completed in 2 days, which is very fast. If the return for revisions is faster, the overall time can be shortened. The reviewers' comments were very helpful in improving the paper. The entire process in the aerospace field took 8 months, which cannot be considered slow, but compared to the 5 to 6 months in the robotics field for classmates, it is not fast.
I am planning to submit to this journal again in the future.

Hello, when I was returning the item for repair, the system kept saying that the file I uploaded was not in accordance with the guide. However, the guide on the official website is written very vaguely. I would like to ask for your advice. Sorry for the trouble.

The review speed of this journal is very slow. It is suggested not to rush to submit for publication. I don't know if the article needs to be related to civil engineering transplantation applications, otherwise it may be rejected. The journal is very old-fashioned and traditional, and the editors are very responsible. Other impressions are good. It took about twenty days for the editor to reject the submission and reply that it does not align with the direction of civil engineering applications.
