Just received an article that was accepted for publication. Based on my own experience of submitting articles and the comments in the discussion section, I feel that choosing a reliable editor is very important. When submitting an article, you can choose which editor to assign it to in the system. It is not guaranteed that you will get the editor you choose, but in most cases, the editor you choose will handle your manuscript. Therefore, the speed of handling manuscripts can vary greatly, with the deadline for the first review being around one month. Some editors are more diligent in reminding, so they will send emails to remind you when the deadline is approaching, resulting in a faster review. Some editors are not very strict, so the reviewers do not mind if it takes a bit longer. It's all a matter of luck

Posted on December 30, 2021, received in May 2023. During the period until June 2022, there was no feedback from the journal regarding finding reviewers and it entered the next round of review. In January 2023, a major revision notice was received, and it was revised in April 2023. I have to say, this journal is really slow. Couldn't they have notified me earlier if they couldn't find reviewers? It made me wait for a long, long time.

Overall, the experience was extremely poor, and the handling of manuscripts was extremely unprofessional. The chief editors were extremely arrogant. One detail: we have been following the work of a certain associate editor, who submitted a manuscript in February 23rd to a certain journal of computational mechanics and it was published in June. The content is in the same narrow field as our work. Whether there is any connection here, I won't speculate. I hope that scholars in our country will continue to strive for more influence internationally!

Submitted at the end of November 2022, the system status changed to "invite 2 reviewers, 1 reviewer accepted, 0 submissions" two months later. However, this status persisted for seven months after submission! In the sixth month, I contacted the Journal Manager and communicated for one month, also providing additional recommendations for reviewers. During this time, the J Manager copied the email to the Editor in Chief and a certain associate editor (presumably the handling editor), and I separately sent professional and polite emails to the EiC and the associate editor. However, neither of the two editors responded, and there was no substantial progress in the review status of the paper. After discussing with some scholars and seeing the decline in the impact factor of JCP in 2023, it felt like this might be JCP's style. Therefore, I replied to all, politely stating these facts and our pressure, and requested to withdraw the submission. The J Manager asked how the EiC should proceed. Surprisingly, the EiC quickly replied, saying "this is fine for me" in a very disdainful manner. As a result, the withdrawal was quickly processed.

After major revisions, I was accepted. This journal has received high evaluations from mentors, so its reputation should be good. However, there might be fewer researchers studying my topic, as the editor kept saying they were looking for reviewers. The first review took nearly two years, but luckily I submitted early, so it didn't delay my graduation and I could wait. Only after issuing an ultimatum did they return the results of the first review. The reviewer's comments were quite good, suggesting major revisions. I carefully revised it for two months and resubmitted it, and the second review directly accepted it.

Both JCP and SISC are included. Perhaps we leaned more towards the engineering direction, and mentors believed that JCP was slightly higher than SISC. The latest ranking not being a top journal is also strange, but based on the ranking of CiCP, I don't really think the Chinese Academy of Sciences' ranking reflects the real situation.

The research topic is CFD grid algorithm, and the review process was quite fast. There were a total of 5 reviewers for the initial review, with three minor revisions accepted, two neutral, and the raised questions were constructive. The review reply was nearly 10,000 words long, but fortunately, it ended with a positive result. Wishing the journal continued success!

To be honest, this journal is highly regarded in my mind, but the reviewers and editors I encountered were very unprofessional. Firstly, two out of three reviewers suggested major revisions, and the last one outright rejected it. In just one line of comments, not only did they fail to provide any reasonable grounds for rejection, but they also made mistakes in describing our methodology and research subject. It's completely irrelevant. After I rebutted with the editor, they refused to acknowledge their mistake and even claimed that the rejection was not based on the third reviewer's recommendation. Well, I'm speechless!

2 reviewers, both reviewers asked relevant questions, no negative feedback, mainly considered the Numerical Tests section to be weak, and one reviewer even kindly helped design the Numerical Tests. After revisions, the paper has improved significantly. The resubmitted manuscript is expected to follow the process and format of major revisions and will likely be sent to the same two reviewers. This is the first submission, interdisciplinary, and related to unstructured grid algorithms. It is clear that the reviewers have a deeper understanding of numerical aspects rather than algorithm aspects. Perhaps mathematicians find programming implementation to be trivial, haha. Currently, considering the audience and publication volume, this journal is not difficult to submit to and has good efficiency.

Boss... If you want to say he's not competent, you can give another example... Professor Shu Qi Wang is a top-notch computational mathematician...

(0) 讚！ | 度哈哈

May I ask what kind of person you are, and what qualifications do you have to comment on Shu? So what if you have published 100 articles, even if you publish 200 articles, it actually proves the quality and authority of the journal. Are you shamelessly making such grand claims because you have a shallow knowledge, or do you have ulterior motives?

1. From a historical perspective, JCP has a high quality.
2. The quality has truly declined in recent years. On one hand, the previous peak was too high, and now computational physics is gradually reaching a bottleneck. Only a few directions still have significant room for development, but WENO/DG is not one of them. Thank you. 
The second aspect is that, perhaps influenced by domestic pressure, many teachers from non-double first-class universities have found ways to publish articles. Several small directions can ensure that only those few Chinese reviewers are assigned. You know what I mean... I'm not saying that teachers from non-double first-class universities are incapable, but I just want to say that many papers are not up to standard. It is disrespectful to Professor Shu to publish them in the same journal as his classic contributions.

It's crazy and unchanged. There are many JCPs among the teachers from non-key universities. ... Check out the contribution of Chinese universities to JCP in a year! I'm impressed, even in the field of computational mathematics, there are so many trolls. They even dare to criticize Professor Shu Qiwang. First, take a serious look at Professor Shu's contributions!

This magazine is a very average magazine in the field of computational mathematics. Many teachers from non-double-first-class universities can easily publish in it. Some Chinese computational mathematicians have published over 100 articles in this magazine, making it a very easy journal to publish in.

In addition, the SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis focuses more on numerical analysis, while Mathematics of Computation leans more towards applied mathematics. The SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing and Numerische Mathematik have a similar level to the Journal of Computational Physics (JCP) and have a preference for new numerical algorithms. Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering contains many articles that lack significant innovation in algorithms, mainly focusing on engineering-oriented algorithms, similar to the Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (AMM) journal.

Who is Shu Qi Wang and what is the problem with publishing over 100 articles in JCP? The algorithms they have developed, DG, WENO, SSP-RK2/3/4, are being used in various fields. It is an honor for JCP to have someone like them willing to publish in their journal.

Almost everyone who does research into computational mathematics has one article published here. In the words of my boss, it is not very difficult to be accepted, but it's not as easy as you think. The difficulty is medium or quite high. It's not as mysterious as what the downstairs said. It was exalted or belittled too much.
