The Cryosphere (TC) is widely recognized as a top journal in the field of geosciences and is considered the number one publication in the cryosphere domain. However, seeing that the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has downgraded the Geophysical Research Letters (GRL) to the second tier, it is not surprising that TC is currently facing a similar situation. Institutions genuinely dedicated to research should unite and resist the CAS's journal ranking system.

This magazine has a high level of recognition. If we refer to some journals in the first zone, this journal definitely should not be in the second zone. Similarly, it is unreasonable for HESS in EGU. The transcendence coefficient of the Documentation and Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences selectively undervalues the journals of EGU and AGU.
