The editing is perfunctory, it's difficult to submit for review without a big shot.

磕西瓜子的西瓜 2022-05-30

I have been with the editor for 22 days (helplessly).

DouHua 2022-05-29

How many days does it usually take for the submission to the journal? It has been six days already.

In the field of geotechnical mechanics, it has been accepted and the review process is fast. I will return in about two months.

Why did the reviewer's comments seem quite positive, but the paper was still rejected?

baoyd20 2022-05-19

Two reviewers, the first reviewer gave a positive evaluation, the second reviewer accepted the manuscript, but it was ultimately rejected.

不瑞淇 2022-05-10

In the editor, I don't know how many days it will last.

It has always been one of the top publications in the field of engineering geology. Although it seems to have become even more prestigious after being classified into Zone 1, it feels like its reputation has started to decline significantly.

After submitting, it will be directly assigned to gong. The editor-in-chief rejected it two days later (the editor-in-chief said that the level provided by the editor was not sufficient and the language was not sufficient for evaluation).

What the downstairs said is too common. The "Three Rejection Set": not in line with the theme, lack of innovation, and poor language. Any one of them can reject your submission. It is normal to not send it for review without the support of engineering geology experts. This journal has gradually become an intermediary for a few people to seek their own interests and network. However, it can be understood, after all, everyone needs papers.

小白虎 2022-03-22

Gong WP directly rejects articles written by Chinese people. I don't quite understand why, but when it comes to experts in the field, he doesn't even bother to read them. It feels a bit absurd.

法式小面包 2022-03-19

Why does my paper have citation counts on Web of Science, but the count is 0 on the journal's homepage? Can someone please share if they have encountered a similar situation and how it was resolved? Thank you.

八角楼上 2022-02-18

No, there isn't. Among the chief editors, there is only one Chinese person, Wenping Gong (from Dida). Within the entire editorial team, there are people from various countries.

CivilGo 2022-02-09

Everyone who is interested, go take a look at the current editorial board of EG. Almost all of them are Chinese. Will it become the next Journal of Mountain Science? How did that WP become the editor-in-chief? I've heard several people complaining about it during meetings. The previous editor-in-chief of EG was a big shot from Italy. I had two articles published there two years ago, but now I am worried about EG.

Returning from a major renovation, the current status is "required review complete," but it has been two months and there is still no progress.

蠕动蜗牛 2021-12-20

Articles about relationships between Chinese nationals and foreign residents account for a considerable proportion, but this situation exists more or less in every journal.

Geotechniquer 2021-12-09

Now it feels like just submitting for review is already very satisfying, I dare not pursue anything else.

Heat and Mass 2021-12-04

Journals have gradually become magazines operated by certain editors, and the quality of papers cannot be considered very high. As for the slow reviewing speed, that is because you don't have the support of an editor or editorial board. Just search for a certain editor's own papers, and you will know how fast the reviewing speed can be.

CUG萝卜丝 2021-12-01

Agreed, I received feedback on my first review after a month, but it has been four months since I resubmitted after major revisions and it is still under review. It is truly frustrating and extremely slow, tormenting even.

jack 2021-11-29

Too slow, two months with the editor, and it's still under external review... Another two months have already passed...

tgg 2021-10-22

Personal first article in Zone 1 top, the quality of the journal is very good, very authoritative, just the review speed is slow. It may be difficult to find reviewers in the field of work itself. It took half a year to find reviewers, 7 months for review, and after major revisions, it took another two months to be accepted.

Submission experience:
October 2020 - Submission
June 2021 - Major revision
August 2021 - Minor revision
September 2021 - Acceptance
This journal seems to have varying speed depending on the direction and whether there are prominent authors on the paper. However, the time spent with the editor for each submission, major revision, and minor revision has always exceeded 10 days. I'm not sure if it's because the manuscript is outstanding or if the editor is just extremely meticulous.

DFCM 2021-08-03

The doctor suggests submitting more articles, but does not recommend it for master's students as it is too slow.

2020.10 Submission
2021.04 Major revision, given one month to adjust the article structure and add comparative analysis content with existing representative research
2021.05 Revised
2021.06 Minor revision, added some references
2021.07 Accepted
The editorial process is slow, with at least 2 weeks in the "with editor" status, and the review period is slow, but the reviewers are very professional
In February 2021, I submitted another article to this journal, but it was directly rejected in March, citing lack of innovation.

2020.07 Submission
In January 2021, I received suggestions for major revisions, but actually the suggested modifications were mostly minor details. If it weren't for the "major revision" status mentioned in the decision, I would have thought they were minor revisions. I made the revisions by the end of the same month.
In May 2021, I received major revision suggestions again, which were also focused on minor details.
I made the revisions in June 2021.
Accepted in July 2021.
It was really slow. It took a whole year from submission to acceptance. After discussing with other teachers and classmates who have published in the same journal, I found that my experience was considered fast. Some waited over a year for acceptance, and it was common for the editorial office to take a month after collecting the reviewers' comments before sending an acceptance email. However, considering that the impact factor of this journal has been increasing in recent years and it has a good reputation, it is still worth submitting if I don't need to graduate in a hurry.
I just graduated with my Master's degree and received the acceptance email. It can be considered as a closure for my Master's stage.
