Not a lot, the editor handles it quite quickly, and after submission, he sends it to the reviewer. The final email that came back was that the reviewer had finished reading the revisions and agreed to publish. Don't worry, there will be good news.

May I ask if there were many changes in your second revision? It seems like you accepted the second time quite quickly. I made very few modifications at that time, but it's been under review since I submitted the revised draft on the 22nd, and now it's the 30th. It's a bit worrisome.

The overall quality of the journal is pretty good, with an impact factor of 4.958 in 2020 and it is classified as a Q2 journal by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Although it became an open access (OA) journal after September 30, 2020, it has not affected the quality of the journal and the progress of the review process so far. If everything goes smoothly, it takes about four months from submission to acceptance. Hope the journal will continue to improve! The only downside is that the publication fee of $2500 is a bit expensive, and the boss feels a little sorry for it.

Are you writing randomly? How is it possible to be so fast? I received the revised manuscript one month after I submitted it for revision.

Articles submitted before September 30, 2020 (first submission) and subsequently accepted will be published for free. Articles submitted after September 30 will require a payment of $2500. Unfortunately, it took almost 10 months for the published process, but fortunately, the article was published for free. This is because the initial submission was not subject to Open Access (OA) and was submitted before September 30th.

May I ask if this journal has become open access now and if there will be any charges?

The initial review took about a month, and both experts provided very positive evaluations and made more than ten suggestions. Two months were given for revisions, which were done meticulously. After resubmission, both the reviewers and the editor were quite satisfied, and it was accepted quickly. The whole process took nearly three months. I am very grateful to the journal editor and reviewers!

I don't know, but the frequent changes in the review timeline of "under review" may indicate that some experts have declined to review. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously seek reviewers.

阿潘潘 2021-06-30

May I ask if you sent the manuscript to 7 reviewers in the first round, and only received feedback from 2 of them?

ACCEPT123 2021-06-23

Posted on August 4, 2020, returned for the first review on December 18, 2020; revised for the first review on January 30, 2020, returned for the second review on May 18, 2021, with 5 minor issues raised. Revised for the second review on May 23, completed on June 20, and received on June 22. Summary: 1. It is difficult to find reviewers for this journal, and even if you find them, they may not review your work on time, resulting in a continuous "under review" cycle. If "under review" does not change within a month, but changes close to the end of the month, be prepared for a first or second review that lasts 3-4 months. 2. Whether it is the first or second review, it is assigned to 2 reviewers, totaling 4 reviewers for me. However, as long as 2 reviewers provide feedback, the review can be considered completed. 3. This journal is focused on the field of ecological environment, so be prepared for a long battle if your research is not directly related to any "environmental indicators". Try to align it with sustainable development. 4. This journal may not have a strong presence in the field of environmental studies, but it does have a place in the broader field of ecology, especially in forest ecology. 5. As long as the journal does not lower its review standards, it is a good journal to consider, whether it is open access or not. After all, the Impact Factor of this journal is attractive to students in fields other than environmental and materials. I hope my personal summary can help those who are planning to submit or have already submitted. Finally, I wish everyone good luck in getting accepted.

The initial review process took about 3-4 months. I received feedback from two experts, one of whom gave a very high evaluation. This expert was likely a peer who had a deep understanding of my content and provided their own insights. I greatly benefited from their feedback and they ultimately made only two minor suggestions, recommending publication. The other expert provided over ten comments, indicating the need for improvement. However, their feedback was not negative. After making modifications as requested, the expert responded with satisfaction and the editor agreed to accept the publication. It was a very pleasant submission experience.

The speed is so fast. I have been under review for almost three months, and the review date has changed almost 10 times.

Two reviewers, relatively positive feedback. The price is $2500. Hoping the ranking won't drop.
