Atmosphere

We submitted an article with collaborators, but overall, we felt that the journal's quality was poor. The main problem was that the reviewing process was not very strict, and the reviewers were expected to provide feedback quickly within a short period of time. This made it difficult for the reviewers to effectively complete their tasks. Additionally, the time given to reviewers for revisions was estimated to be very short, which resulted in a lack of rigor in the review process and did not provide much assistance in improving the article. Furthermore, the journal had high fees, and if this continues, it could damage the journal's reputation and it wouldn't be surprising if it ends up on the warning list again. The one-month publishing cycle is also too rushed, and reviewers should be given more time, at least a month, to complete the review process. Additionally, most of the editors are Chinese, and it is likely that due to company pressure, they have been working tirelessly, resulting in a very fast pace.

If you are in a hurry to graduate, you can submit to this journal. However, if not, it is recommended to submit to a different journal. Overall, it feels like a predatory journal aimed at making money.

Speak a fair word, the upper part of the Atmosphere journal has some guest editors who are scientists endorsing it, and the quality is acceptable, not as mediocre as many other genuine water journals. People's credibility is the most valuable, much stronger than bureaucratic institutions. You can easily search on the internet, and many guest editors are indeed influential scientists.

The reason why zky is included in the warning list is because people are afraid of becoming famous, just like how pigs fear getting fat! zky's own flagship journal (without naming it) struggled to increase its impact factor over the years through commissioned articles, promotion, and citations, and it has only reached a little over 2. So, what does it mean for your Atmosphere journal to have an impact factor of just over 2 but still be so efficient? Who are the decision-makers in China? Just take a look at zky's standards, they are only set by a few individuals. The principles for top journals are: 1) recognized as good journals by the public, and 2) a journal where insiders can frequently publish their work.
