The number of submissions is increasing, so I also plan to submit. I was originally planning to submit to EFM.

Congratulations! To be honest, this journal is well-deserving. The review speed is extremely fast and the editor-in-chief's level is very high.

The manuscript was sent for review on the same day. The first reviewer accepted the invitation within 3 days, hoping for a positive outcome.

I highly praise Professor Susmel's efficiency in handling submissions. He always responds in less than half a day and even accepts them as soon as he starts work.

Basically, we only accept submissions related to fracture mechanics. Pure mechanics articles can be submitted to the mechanics comprehensive journals, I remember there are quite a few.

Just take a look at the recent submissions to see if there are any cases similar to what you mentioned.

Brothers, please help the child. Does this topic have to be related to fracture mechanics? If it is just about mechanical performance, what is the probability of rejection?

The fastest submission experience ever, huge thanks to Editor Luca Susmel for handling the manuscript on the same day. There was a reviewer who kept delaying their comments, and the editor even helped send reminders. Truly amazing.

The article has been accepted, taking a total of 1 month and 23 days from submission to acceptance. The first review took 20 days, and the second review took 1 month. The editor Luca was very efficient and quick in handling the process. The two reviewers were also very professional, making the submission experience enjoyable.

Both of the two papers were submitted for review on the same day, with a review period of two weeks and an acceptance period of no more than two months. It is faster than EFM, looking forward to becoming a first-tier journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences soon.

Is the journal a bit slow recently? It has been more than 20 days since the revised submission, and there is still no news. I don't know if the reviewers really haven't received the manuscript or if the editor is on vacation.

The journal TAFM was submitted in January of this year, and after a half-month review, feedback was given (major revisions). Unfortunately, it was rejected after revisions, but the overall process did not exceed 2 months. Overall feeling: the journal is very efficient, with prompt reviews, professional reviewers, and responsible editors.

The submission was made on June 20th, and the editor sent out invitations three times before two reviewers accepted. Today, the reviewer feedback has been received, which is all helpful in improving the quality of the article, very professional and fair. I submitted the article using Latex.

To be honest, the editing efficiency is definitely very fast compared to non-OA journals. Basically, it will be entered into the UR within a day. This is the most efficient journal I have seen so far, and I hope for good results. Currently, there is only one reviewer accepting submissions.

After three days without any reviewers accepting the invitation, two more were invited. Regardless of the outcome, the editor's efficiency is still top-notch!
