Aims and Scope

Global Environmental Change is a peer-reviewed international journal publishing high quality, theoretically and empirically rigorous articles, which advance knowledge about the human and policy dimensions of global environmental change. The journal interprets global environmental change to mean the outcome of processes that are manifest in localities, but with consequences at multiple spatial, temporal and socio-political scales. The journal is interested in articles which have a significant social science component. These include articles that address the social drivers or consequences of environmental change, or social and policy processes that seek to address problems of environmental change. Topics include, but are not restricted to, the drivers, consequences and management of changes in: biodiversity and ecosystem services, climate, coasts, food systems, land use and land cover, oceans, urban areas, and water resources.

Verified Reviews

Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.

The journal's impact factor should be good, but it's already April 2022 and I submitted my paper in July 2021, and I still haven't received the first-round review. The reviewing speed is extremely unreasonable, so if you have strict requirements for speed, I suggest being cautious. Even those who don't have specific speed requirements will reach their breaking point. It's been 8 months for the first-round review, an unbelievable speed.

2022-03-23

Overall it's okay. There were three rounds, with the first round being a major revision, the second round a minor revision, and the third round also a minor revision. After the modifications, it was accepted. The feedback was very objective, and most of the issues were well addressed, although some were challenging. However, the reviewer was quite good. Keep working hard and striving.
