Verified Reviews
Overall, the experience was excellent. The reviewers were the most supportive I have ever seen. They were undoubtedly experts in the field, yet they provided feedback and criticism from a standpoint of helping the authors improve their work. This should be the original intention of the peer review system. However, unfortunately, not many journals currently achieve this. So, based on this point alone, I understand why IJGIS has such a high status.

As a second-year graduate student from a non-elite institution, I was fortunate to have my paper accepted under the guidance of my advisor. The research focus was on spatiotemporal data analysis.
The paper went through a major revision and a minor revision during the process. The three reviewers were highly knowledgeable and their questions were sharp and clear. After the significant changes made, the paper improved significantly.
PS. I hope that one day IJGIS will be included in the first district of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中科院一区) as it continues to grow and improve.
