Hello, may I ask what does "similarity must be reduced to less than 10% see report attached %REVIEWER_ATTACH_DEEP_LINK%" mean? How can I open this attachment? It's my first time seeing this. Please advise. Thanks!

I submitted an article in the 17th year and found it quite simple. The editors and reviewers were very nice. It took a week to make formatting changes and then a month and a half to receive the first round of review comments. After making the necessary revisions, it was accepted in a week. The only downside is that it takes a year for WOS (Web of Science) inclusion.

Various requirements are very abnormal, such as the repetition rate should not exceed 5% and so on. After the first submission was modified according to the checklist, the editor-in-chief rejected it due to the large number of authors, which delayed it for more than a month.

Excuse me, has the format been fixed now? Can I ask for advice?

The format is very trashy and abnormal. I was rejected twice because of the format.

This publication is too slow. Be cautious. You can search for the papers they have published, and there should be a reference format provided.

Translated text: The project was submitted at the beginning of January and went through four rounds of external review.

The first review took 1.5 months, the second review lasted 3 months, the third review took another 1.5 months, and just recently we made revisions and sent it back for the fourth review.

During the second review, it was suggested that the language needed polishing, so we made the necessary changes. In the third review, it was advised that professional proofreading was required. We just finished polishing and revising it, and it is currently in the fourth review phase.

The formatting requirements are a bit strict. Which big brother has already won? Please leave a contact method to show me the manuscript. Thank you! Also, what format should be used for the reference list? Because it's not available in Mendeley, what format should I use?

First direct rejection after submission due to mainly formatting issues. Later, made revisions according to the checklists provided by the editor and resubmitted. It has been about a week, and the status is still "with editor." It feels like it's not looking good.

Do you know anything about the submission process for surface engineering? I just started submitting and got rejected. Even after making revisions and resubmitting, I still got rejected. The key is that both rejection letters I received were the same, asking for revisions and plagiarism checks based on the checklist they provided. How can I meet their requirements?

It seems that even a slight problem will be rejected. Just make some good changes according to the list he provided and resubmit it.

Do we have to use the template provided by them for submission?

First of all, we will talk about technical review. Correct mistakes if you have made any and guard against them if you have not. The technical review was given within one week after submission, and the manuscript was returned in about one month after submission; about 40 days after revision, the second review comments were given, and we continued to revise it; Half a month after submission, it was accepted. There was only a reviewer, and it is still relatively easy to be accepted.

Excuse me, is the technical review given by the editor the author’s requirements on the journal website? I have revised the article according to the requirements before submission, and what should I do in this situation?

The speed of reviewing is ok, returning to the modification is only one month, and the time for the reviewer to review the manuscript is also one month.The paper was given to the peers, and the majors were repaired once and the level of the article was greatly improved.In addition, the journal's grammar requirements are quite high.The introduction and experimental methods must be written well.After submitting the manuscript, the editor will quickly return a technical review email and quickly re-submit as required.Hope journal is getting better~
