Super slow, and rejected after revisions. Submitted in December 2022, reviewed in May 2023, received reviewer comments in September 2023, one accepted, one rejected, with the opportunity for revisions given by the editor. After careful revisions and resubmission, in October 2023, one reviewer still insisted on rejection, ultimately resulting in rejection. What a waste of time, delaying my PhD graduation by a year. Rejection is not scary, what's scary is dragging it out until the end and then rejecting. You're just a second-tier journal, who do you think you are to be so authoritative, just dragging it out. Submitted to a journal in November 2023, accepted after minor revisions in two months. I will forever hold a grudge against this Wave Motion journal.

If you are a master's or a soon-to-graduate doctoral student, it is not recommended to submit to this journal, as the reviewers are strict regarding modeling and fundamental issues. It usually requires two revisions before acceptance

This journal is really slow. I submitted the manuscript on December 19, 2022, and it is still "with editor" as of April 11, 2023. I have sent three emails and made four phone calls in between, but the status hasn't changed at all. Are these editors just drinking tea and reading newspapers every day? They don't even process the manuscript.

Posted on July 20th, accepted on October 10th. There were two reviewers, one provided minor revisions, and the other was unsure if it was suitable for this publication. The final decision is up to the editor. After the minor revisions, it was accepted for publication.

2021.02.Submission
In June 2021, two reviewers provided feedback on the submission. One recommended major revisions, while the other suggested minor revisions. Both reviewers' comments were relatively gentle.
In August 2021, a resubmission was required. It is likely that the time taken was too long, resulting in a change of reviewers, and another round of major revisions was requested.
Another resubmission was made in October 2021.
Finally, in November 2021, the submission was accepted.

The review speed of this journal is very slow. It took 6 months from early July to January of the next year. They directly rejected the manuscript, which was too bad, and delayed a lot of time. The review comments were very pertinent, but it was very, very slow.

My paper was rejected after the first round of review. The review was very slow. Submitted in March and the review came back in August, rejection. There were two reviewers: The first reviewer’s comments are a total of 6 lines, and I couldn’t even finish reading it. The second reviewer was very thorough and the comments were very useful; the comments were three pages long. Perhaps there are too few people working on elastic wave forward modeling. Feels like this journal doesn’t get many submissions now; my submission was in March and it was only No. 9. The journal was very slow; overall it took six months. AE is very slow too; it took 3 months from reviewers returning all comments to AE giving a recommendation.
