Core journals are naturally more difficult to publish than general journals. However, this is not certain. The difficulty and requirement of peer review of some general journals are even higher than those of some core journals. It really depends on the specific journal. The difficulty and requirements for periodicals are also higher than those for non-periodicals.

The main reason is that the editorial department of periodicals is mostly part-time editors, and they are all old pedants, so the speed of reviewing manuscripts is slow, the cycle is long and it is difficult. Besides, it is not always easy to publish a general publication. Generally speaking, what is common in the market, especially what is recommended by the agent, is not difficult, but it is very troublesome if he does not recommend it. Some audit requirements are very high, some will be published frequently, or the follow-up will be very, very troublesome.

Soil mechanics is a practical engineering discipline, a branch of civil engineering, and an important theoretical source to guide scientific research and engineering design in civil engineering, transportation, water conservancy, geology, mining and other fields.

It specializes in studying the engineering properties of soil to solve foundation and foundation and related engineering problems, and can be applied to the analysis of foundation and foundation design and the geotechnical engineering field related to architecture.
