Aims and Scope
Tribology is the science of rubbing surfaces and contributes to every facet of our everyday life, from live cell friction to engine lubrication and seismology. As such tribology is truly multidisciplinary and this extraordinary breadth of scientific interest is reflected in the scope of Tribology International.
Tribology International seeks to publish original research papers of the highest scientific quality to provide an archival resource for scientists from all backgrounds. Written contributions are invited reporting experimental and modelling studies both in established areas of tribology and emerging fields. Scientific topics include the physics or chemistry of tribo-surfaces, bio-tribology, surface engineering and materials, contact mechanics, nano-tribology, lubricants and hydrodynamic lubrication.

Also, don't be angry because of your own ignorance. I know a mentor from a 985 university who is an American academician. Papers submitted to top-tier journals do not need to go through the review process and are accepted directly. The influence of the team itself is very important, which has been established since the formation of the paper system. Editors didn't even pay attention when Einstein first started submitting papers because he was from a patent institute. They would publish the arguments proposed by influential scholars immediately. Academic influence is built on years of accumulation. If you were a journal editor, would you spend all day looking at papers from unfamiliar institutions around the world that have never conducted relevant research?
First, let's talk about an intuitive feeling, even in the field of tribology, it is widely recognized that wear and tribology are not on the same level. As far as I know, wear is usually rejected before being submitted to tribology. Let me be a bit arrogant here, many times after reading papers on wear, I want to curse, but there are certainly also average articles in tribology. Overall, there is still a certain gap. Our group is also cautious in submitting to tribology, and we won't submit anything without significant innovation. Our usual submission order is: tribology, friction, applied surface science > wear, surface and coating > part j, part f.
Since the first paper was accepted, it feels like opening up a new path. I have been able to publish papers in some journals in the manufacturing field, and rarely get rejected without peer review. However, it takes me about half a year to complete a paper, which is relatively slower compared to many of my classmates.
Additional: Just finished watching "Genius: Einstein". Einstein started working at a patent office, where he submitted several papers, chasing after editors, but they didn't even look at them. On the other hand, professors from well-known universities get their conversations or conference content published immediately. This is influence, and it is how the publishing system was initially formed. Those who don't believe in academic influence probably agree with a plot where a messy old man from the deep mountains defeats a martial arts alliance leader who has dominated the martial arts world for decades. Haha, please imagine it yourself.
