When I submitted it, it also showed "under review", it has been stuck for two months and there has been no progress.

Could you please clarify if the current status of this journal is only "under review" and that we are unable to see the specific progress?

Very slow, not recommended for submission

I think it was quite strict. In the first round of major revisions, three reviewers provided over 40 comments, and more than 10 were difficult to address. However, the suggestions made were very good, and the quality of the article was significantly improved. It took me three months to make the revisions. In the second round, two reviewers accepted the manuscript, but one requested major revisions. There were less than 10 comments, mostly focusing on methodological details. I added some additional literature review and conducted numerical simulations again, which took over a month. The manuscript was accepted the next day

Teacher, do you think your reviewing process is strict? Are the comments you provide objective and constructive?

This journal is not just slow, the reviewers are fine, but any step stuck in the hands of the editors is at least a month. Starting from submission to publication can take up to 8 months, so be careful when submitting if graduating within a year

The journal is excellent, a top journal in the field of structural health monitoring.
After submitting in March, there was no editor assigned until May, and then it wasn't until August that the first round of reviews came back. Thankfully, there were minimal comments for revision, just minor edits. After the editor-in-chief handled it in November, they provided feedback that didn't align with the journal's focus, which scared me. I quickly revised the article and wrote a lengthy explanation of how it did fit the focus of the journal, which was the most nerve-wracking part. After that, the article was accepted and approved for publication. Overall, the submission process started slow but ended quickly. The first round of reviews was the most difficult to wait for, but it was rewarding, and the article was finally published without any major issues.
One thing I don't understand is that when I checked this journal on LetPub, it was listed as closed source with no open access, but when it came to payment, they claimed to be open access and required a $2300 publication fee. I don't understand, did they switch from closed source to open access? Will this affect the journal's ranking?

Is there any change in the difficulty of submitting papers to the SCHM journal after it has transferred to Hindawi?

I found that once he receives a review comment, it will show as "pending approval". Then, he has to wait until all the review comments are gathered before making a decision.

Dude, has your pending approval come out yet?

(0) 讚！ | paigu001

After 5 months under review, the status has changed to "pending approval", and I don't know how much longer I have to wait.
