Aims and Scope
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.

Verified Reviews
2021.10.9 under review;
2022.4.11 rejected, with only one sentence from the editor: Authors should submit a new manuscript where they MUST compare with other sources.
After three months, I sent reminders every month, and the replies always said they were waiting for the reviewers' responses or trying to find more reviewers.
After waiting for over six months, the rejection reason was just one illogical sentence from the editor. I don't even know if they read my article. This irresponsible editor and journal have delayed me for half a year without any academic ethics. Their disrespectful attitude towards others' hard work is truly disappointing, especially considering they are a top journal. No wonder they have been stagnant.
Maybe I just had bad luck, but I want to advise those considering submitting to CS journals to be cautious.
