Journal of Palaeogeography-English

According to the SCI citation report, the number of publications in both 2018 and 2019 was 27. The citation count in 2020 was 136, with an impact factor of 2.519. It is ranked 6th out of 54 in the field of paleontology and is in the Q1 category. Although the categorization by the Chinese Academy of Sciences may be slightly inflated, it is still a journal that has a significant presence in the fields of paleogeography and paleontology. Generally, when submitting manuscripts, the editorial department will review and ask the authors to make revisions before sending them for external review. The feedback is constructive and greatly helps improve the quality of the articles. Unfortunately, they have recently started charging publication fees.

Journal of Palaeogeography (English edition), with an impact factor of 2.0, is classified as a first-class journal in the field of geosciences. It is simply outrageous! If we are talking about supporting domestic journals, then there are journals like Chinese Science: Earth Sciences and Journal of Geography (English edition), which are far more deserving than this one. And as for the so-called "transcendence index," it's just a joke. They claim to have surpassed in any random small area?
