Geoscience research has become too specialized, resulting in a scarcity of professionals in the field. Many papers published in recent years may only be read by a few hundred people. GRL is an association journal, and associations have unique objectives. It is possible that the association believes that lowering the impact factor is more in line with its interests, so they relatively encourage the publication of niche but solid and rigorous works.

I would like to ask why journals like GRL (and also other Earth science journals such as Geology and GCA), which have a significant impact and high recognition within the field, have consistently low Impact Factors. Looking at their publication rates, they are not considered low. Is it because the community is relatively small? I'm just curious.

What does "挺进一区" mean? This is called timely correction, right? If GRL is not in the first district, it would be a pity for the zoning...

Advanced to district one... It's heartbreaking for GRL.

The efficiency is fast. The first review feedback was 1B, 3C, 1A. After making the necessary revisions, the second review feedback was 1B, 1A, 1A, and then it was accepted.

This year has been very lucky, as I have had two papers accepted. The latest one was even selected for the top tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' GRL journal. The initial review scores for the two papers are as follows, leaving me exhausted:
- Science Category (Required): Science Category 1
Presentation Category: Presentation Category A
- Science Category (Required): Science Category 3
Presentation Category: Presentation Category B

- Science Category (Required): Science Category 2
Presentation Category: Presentation Category A
- Science Category (Required): Science Category 3
Presentation Category: Presentation Category A

Very fast,
Submitted on 5.20,
Received the review results on 6.17. There were two reviewers: one in science category 2, presentation category B; the other in science category 3, presentation category B. The opinions were very professional, and it felt like they were both experts. There were no minor comments, and each reviewer provided 4 main points of feedback, mainly questioning the validity of the article's conclusions. The editor requested major revisions.
Submitted the revised manuscript on 6.27,
Accepted on 7.25, took a total of two months.
A very good submission experience, with efficient editing and professional reviewers. The article greatly improved with their input. I love this journal.

Comrades, pay attention! GRL is going open source. Starting from October 2022, papers submitted will require a publication fee ($2900). It's quite painful!

憨憨爱科研 2022-07-12

There used to be two reviewers, but recently it seems like there are three reviewers. The editor for the first submission is also different. I wonder if the difference in the number of reviewers is causing the difference in editors. This journal is well-known in the field of geophysics, and it is a prestigious indexed journal. Currently, it is ranked as a 2nd tier journal. It seems like there are no 1st tier journals for atmospheric electricity unless submitting to a comprehensive 1st tier journal. Hopefully, it will return to the 1st tier this year.

who are you 2022-06-30

The top journals in this field (not related to geology), just below sub-journals, are more highly recognized than JC, JGR, ACP, and so on. I have always admired them. I submitted twice, the first time it was rejected after review, and later published in a professional journal in the top tier. A year later, I regrouped and changed to a completely new topic, and finally succeeded. I don't want to submit to GRL anymore, they are too arrogant and the process is torturous, I can't stand it!!!

Record it, hoping for a smooth process this time.

My article was published in 2020, so the data on the review process may be outdated. I wish you an early name change. ?

Couldn't agree more, it's a bit overboard.

One of the three leading journals in the field of geology (Geology, EPSL, GRL), articles are accepted quickly but rejections are also fast. They require innovative and eye-catching ideas. However, it is frustrating that the Chinese Academy of Sciences forcibly supports domestic journals and suppresses internationally recognized journals to the second tier. The important thing in supporting domestic journals is to ensure the review process. This forced policy intervention is unlikely to achieve the desired goals.

I still have a blank state. Has anyone else experienced this?

What does "等一轮审稿是什么意思，你这个只是不断的有新的审稿人加入，只是说明第一次外审的审稿人数量啊" mean? It means "What does 'waiting for another round of review' mean? Your statement only indicates that new reviewers keep joining, it only highlights the number of reviewers for the first external review."

Three "Under Review" stages, waiting anxiously. Does anyone know if I still have to wait for another round of reviews in this situation?

The manuscript went through one round of major revisions, one round of rejection with an option to resubmit, and one round of minor revisions before finally being accepted. In the end, it received two ratings, an A and a B. It seems that it is not necessary to meet the highest rating, it ultimately depends on whether the editor approves it.
