EARTH SURFACE PROCESSES AND LANDFORMS

The total time required is about 10 months, with an average review period of 2 months. This journal has very few Chinese participants, with 2 reviewers and an Associate Editor, all of whom are renowned experts from Europe and America. They maintain high review standards. Due to being a non-comprehensive journal, its Impact Factor (IF) is relatively low, leading to stricter review processes. Based on the current evaluation standards in China, the review period is long, the IF is not high, and the difficulty is also high, so it is not recommended for submission. However, from an international perspective, it is well recognized by European and American peers and can be considered a suitable journal for documenting one's representative work. In the long run, publishing in this journal will not be regretted.
