I originally had confidence in it, but it took a month for the editor to submit it for review. One reviewer completed the review in a month, and the editor took over twenty days to provide the result.

There were two reviewers, one helped me with grammar revisions, while the other felt it was not suitable for this journal. As a result, the editor rejected it on the grounds of incompatibility with the journal and recommended submission to another journal.

Overall, the submission experience was not very good.

Good journal, but slow, lasting over a year, experts and editors are very meticulous, the modified article indeed improved in quality quite a bit.

Posted on December 22, 2022, received positive reviews from two external experts, and underwent major revisions. Afterwards, one expert agreed to publish while the other suggested minor revisions. The editor provided suggestions for the minor revisions, which were made and accepted by June 16, 2023. Both external review cycles took one month each, indicating a relatively fast pace. Keep up the good work, everyone!

You are amazing, bro! Can we add a satellite?

It has been 8 months of review, and the review is still ongoing. To be honest, I have forgotten what I wrote.

This journal is not sure what it's doing, the speed is extremely slow. From submission, to review, to waiting for the results, every step is particularly slow. It took more than two months from with editor to under review. It has been under review for three months. Then waiting for the comments (RRC) took more than two weeks.

This is a resubmitted paper after rejection, and during the second review, one reviewer held onto a problem and rejected it (the revised manuscript had already included sufficient supplementary experiments to explain it). Even though the new reviewer thought it was only a minor issue.

The submission experience is extremely poor! I will not consider it again in the future.

After more than a year of being employed, there has been no retrieval. Can anyone knowledgeable please provide an explanation?

First submitted to NC and CACIE, but it was rejected after review because they couldn't find enough reviewers. Then it was submitted to ENGINEERING GEOLOGY, and it seems to have encountered an editor who specializes in the field. The editor is fast but extremely strict:

20/10/2022 submit. The next day, the editor replied and requested revisions to certain parts of the paper and the abstract.
25/10/2022 resubmitted. The editor agreed to the revisions but provided new suggestions for modification.
28/10/2022 submitted for the third time. The next day, it was under review.
26/12/2022 feedback received. Minor and moderate revisions were requested, and the editor provided 7 additional review comments.
28/01/2023 revised.
04/03/2023 feedback received. Both reviewers agreed to accept, but the editor found a new reviewer who suggested minor revisions.
18/03/2023 revised.
19/03/2023 the third reviewer agreed to accept, but the editor unexpectedly provided further comments and requested language polishing.
05/04/2023 revised.
Accepted on the same day.

PS: The editor's comments are highly professional and insightful. Before submitting, I had a negative mindset and directly submitted it in accordance with CACIE's format. The editor patiently notified me of the revisions needed and provided excellent suggestions for modifying the paper before it was sent for review.

I was rejected for a whole year, and the process was really unacceptable. Here is the specific timeline:

2022.05.25 - Submitted to the journal
2022.06.01 - With editor
2022.06.13 - Under review
2022.09.01 - Rejected, invited to resubmit (reason: the second reviewer never responded)
2022.10.26 - Revised and resubmitted based on the comments from the first reviewer and the editor
2022.11.02 - With editor
2023.01.06 - Under review (took over two months for review??)
2023.01.31 - Under review (status changed for the second time)
2023.03.15 - Required review completed
2023.04.01 - Decision in process
2023.04.04 - Reject

The reason for rejection is the most unacceptable part. Both reviewers provided major revisions, and then the editor said it may not be suitable for the journal's theme?????

I'm really frustrated.

It has been two weeks for me too, and there still hasn't been any result.

My RRC has been half a month already, and there is still no result. May I ask what the final result is?

The review process after submission is particularly slow. It took 10 months for the review to be completed and the result was rejection. It wasted too much time.

How can this be solved, please?

2.8 resubmit
2.14 with editor

Translation: We need to resubmit on February 8th and work with the editor on February 14th.

玉清 2023-02-08

Submitted on January 2nd, returned on January 6th. It states that the affiliations of all authors should be provided in the editorial system (mentioning the affiliation of the supervisor was not provided in the system). However, when submitting through the system, the author information already included the institution. Should all the affiliations marked in the manuscript be filled out in the system? Does anyone know?

Brother, has your EG received the first-instance opinion now? I have also been waiting for RRC for two weeks.

Required Reviews Completed means that the necessary evaluations or assessments have been finished.

The sentence "越长是不是越容易中啊" translates to "Does it become easier to win the longer it gets?"

Geostar 2022-12-15

Must use the school email, or explain in the cover letter why not using the school email.

20220119 Submission, under review after one week.
20220503 Status update, still under review.
Then, there was no news. In August, I reminded them once and they said it was still under review.
I continued to remind them on 20221120 and they said they haven't found a suitable reviewer.
I'll just keep waiting. It is possible for the first review to take over a year.

Congratulations - Accept Nov 15, 2022
Wishing everyone good luck.

March 2022 submission, revised in July, returned for further revisions in August, minor revisions returned in September, accepted in October.
The overall feedback is quite professional, and the editor is also responsible. Although there are not many comments, the manuscript will still be reviewed again before acceptance. As a result, the review process can be slow at times.

Do I have to use a school email?

广西郭富城 2022-11-10

Second submission for repair, wish to receive directly.

Minor adjustments require a high level of attention to grammar details.

Oct 25, 2022 required reviews completed
There is a reviewer who has not provided comments after the revisions.

夏图2 2022-10-28

Submitted for review three months ago, the review process took another month for the editor-in-chief to provide feedback. However, one out of the three external reviewers found it interesting and suggested modifications. Despite this, the editor-in-chief rejected the submission, and it is unclear why.
