Is there a status called "Decision in Process" after RRC?

打野的跟上啊 2023-01-27

Each journal has different requirements for the quality of manuscripts. When you believe that the quality of your research is very high, you can submit to top journals (main journals, sub-journals, etc.), and when the quality is average, there are corresponding journals as well. In the same field, manuscripts can be accepted in first-tier journals and also in fourth-tier journals; manuscripts that can be accepted in fourth-tier journals are unlikely to be accepted in first-tier journals. Do good research, not every article you write will be in top journals, nor will they all be in fourth-tier journals.

My article, dated 20th December 2022, shows "Under Review". It has been over a month, but there has been no change. The corresponding author has not received any links related to the review, so it is impossible to see the current status. I would like to ask how you view the review status.

@XD-9, you are the most annoying and useless person. Science is originally something from the West. Even if it cannot be said that science is still solely a Western thing, it is at least something with universal value. If a publication only has researchers from one country publishing in it, it at least indicates that the research outcomes published in that journal do not possess corresponding universal value. In simple terms, it may be a little far from science. The general standard for judging a low-quality journal is if more than 30% of the articles are from China, unless it is a traditional Chinese medicine journal.

Randomly checked more than a dozen students from Tsinghua University's School of Environment. Didn't find a single one who submitted JHM. However, many of them were reviewers for JHM.

eviron小虫 2023-01-25

There are only 13 people in one environment... How much more do you have to exaggerate?

eviron小虫 2023-01-25

This time, it was indeed my mistake for not seeing it clearly, sorry. According to this logic, there should be fewer people studying environmental science at Tsinghua University compared to life sciences. What I was referring to was pure life sciences, excluding medical fields.
But how come I haven't found any foreign top-notch life science journals being dominated by Chinese by 70%? This strange phenomenon only appears in materials science and environmental science. What does this indicate?
In other words, if we divide environmental science into such detailed subfields, would there be fewer practitioners in foreign research institutions? Could you please also look into it? Don't treat it differently. In my impression, there are definitely not fewer people doing these environmental-related works in the United States compared to China.

To prevent the original poster from accusing me of being inaccurate, I will list the number of teachers in three research institutes of Tsinghua University's School of Environment (which includes ten research institutes and one research center). The data is as follows:

https://www.env.tsinghua.edu.cn/szdw/jyjs/shjbh.htm - Institute of Water Environment Protection: 13 people
https://www.env.tsinghua.edu.cn/szdw/jyjs/dq.htm - Institute of Atmospheric Pollution and Control: 22 people
https://www.env.tsinghua.edu.cn/szdw/jyjs/gts.htm - Institute of Solid Waste Control and Resource Recycling: 11 people

星空威 2023-01-24

In addition, what is the basis for your statement "at least the teachers from Tsinghua University's School of Environment are not very knowledgeable about environmental issues" if you haven't even checked all the teachers from Tsinghua University's School of Environment? If you want people to agree with your statement, you should at least provide real and valid data. In other words, if you conduct research and draw conclusions based on such hasty generalizations, it is really difficult for people to agree with you.

Without commenting on anything else, let's talk about the conclusion you made, "There are a total of 13 teachers on the official website of the School of Environment at Tsinghua University." How ridiculous this conclusion is! Anyone who clicks a few times on the official website of the School of Environment at Tsinghua University or has some understanding of Tsinghua's School of Environment would not consider this data to be correct.

茜54655 2023-01-23

At the same time, I discovered an interesting phenomenon: at least the serious environmental researchers at Tsinghua University don't seem to publish much in the Journal of Hydrology and Meteorology.

茜54655 2023-01-23

Some evidence creators on the most funny version of the forum, such as XD-9. They always claim that there are so many people in the domestic environment field. They often mention that there are around 180 people in an environmental college.
Here is another piece of evidence: there are a total of 13 teachers on the official website of the Environmental College of Tsinghua University. In three years, they have published 384 articles.
https://www.env.tsinghua.edu.cn/szdw/jyjs.htm
In comparison, there are more than 130 faculty members in the School of Life Sciences at Tsinghua University.
https://life.tsinghua.edu.cn/szdw/jzyg1.htm

The University of Pennsylvania has 12 faculty members in the Environmental department.

So, please stop spreading rumors, it's really pointless.

Journal for Chinese people to play themselves.

Ignore those haters. People like XD-9 are just a group of academic rogues. They argue with you about fabricated and baseless claims, but when you mention the bottom line, they will say that they do have some bottom line, just a little bit.

I dare ask XD-9, how many professors are there in the Environmental School of Tsinghua University? There are only a dozen or so listed on the official website. Can you help find the other sixty or seventy? Are they in other departments due to interdisciplinary studies? Here is the website for your reference: https://www.env.tsinghua.edu.cn/szdw/jyjs.htm

Brothers, with editor's review after a few days, the chosen editor is Tersa.

XD-9 2023-01-19

I didn't say Chinese people don't publish papers, the question is what is considered "publishing". How many environmental researchers are there in the Chinese Academy of Sciences? How many professors are there in Tsinghua University's Environmental School? In 3 years, there were 234 papers, averaging 80 papers per year, including co-authored articles. That's less than one paper per person per year, right? You can also look at the publication volume of these schools in the top journals EST and WR in the environmental field during the same period. As mentioned by the previous friend, if JHM is considered a low-quality journal, then how many other journals in the environmental field are not? Do you only publish articles in EST and WR yourselves?

XD-9 2023-01-19

【Paramecium vs. Mites: The Great Battle】I have indeed not lived abroad for a long time, maybe around 15 years. I am familiar with the research on the European and American environment. It is those people in the domestic environmental science institutes who focus on engineering that say "environmental science mainly focuses on applications".... I am just bored and occasionally stumbled upon this forum. I saw some childish remarks and couldn't help but say a few words. If I say too much, I might be doxxed. Chinese people tend to engage in irrelevant discussions in the field of environment and materials. This is the reality, but it doesn't mean that journals like JHM are low-quality. Even irrelevant discussions require ability. Top experts can engage in irrelevant discussions in journals like JHM, EST, and WR, while the majority of inexperienced people cannot. Don't think that just by publishing a few articles with a senior supervisor, you will become competent. Of course, there are some competent inexperienced individuals, but they are definitely a minority.

eviron小虫 2023-01-18

Finally, a comrade has come forward to tell the truth. The scientific research community in China is currently turning a blind eye to the truth. Everyone is colluding, publishing papers, getting promotions, and making money together. JHM is a platform used by domestic water-flooding maniacs to gain benefits. What kind of discipline would allow Chinese people to publish over 70% of the papers? Foreign countries pay more attention to environmental protection than China! Those who truly work in the field of environment cannot publish in such journals!

草履虫大战螨虫 2023-01-18

@xd-9 I guess you don't have much experience living abroad. Come to North America and Europe and you will see. Environmental studies primarily focus on application, so there are very few foreigners engaging in irrelevant discussions. Of course, if you insist on giving one or two extreme examples to prove your point, then you win. Materials science and environmental science are fields where only Chinese people engage in irrelevant discussions, so there is not much international competition. But other disciplines are not like that. In biophysics and chemistry, at least Chinese researchers compete with scholars from all over the world, although the quality of research is another matter.

草履虫大战螨虫 2023-01-18

Chinese people publish, Chinese people cite, Chinese people review, Chinese people entertain themselves. Apart from the editorial department being overseas, the money flows overseas as well. This is a purely domestic journal. It is a magazine that solely relies on materials and popular topics, lacking any level of competence.

Lizzy03 2023-01-17

The editing efficiency assigned to you is quite high, mine has been for a week and still with the editor.

慧娜 2023-01-16

From 2020 to 2022, a total of 7,723 research articles were published in this magazine. The top ten institutions are as follows:

1. Chinese Academy of Sciences - 897 articles
2. University of Chinese Academy of Sciences - 383 articles
3. Tsinghua University - 234 articles
4. Zhejiang University - 204 articles
5. Harbin Institute of Technology - 198 articles
6. Research Center for Eco Environmental Sciences (RCEES) - 194 articles
7. Ministry of Agriculture Rural Affairs - 193 articles
8. Tongji University - 153 articles
9. Shanghai Institute of Pollution Control and Ecological Security - 145 articles
10. Nanjing University - 144 articles

Over 70% of the articles in this magazine were contributed by Chinese researchers.

慧娜 2023-01-16

@XD-9, are you bullying others without checking the Web of Science? Why do you avoid the important and only provide an incomplete ranking? Here are the top 10 institutions in 2022, with only one being from overseas:

1. Chinese Academy of Sciences - 204
2. University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) - 89
3. Harbin Institute of Technology - 53
4. Zhejiang University - 48
5. Research Center for Eco Environmental Sciences (RCEES) - 44
6. Tsinghua University - 43
7. Ministry of Agriculture Rural Affairs - 40
8. Nankai University - 39
9. Tongji University - 39
10. Sichuan University - 38

123chemis 2023-01-14

I strongly agree with @XD-9's viewpoint; many times, the reason for successful submission is due to the platform's support and the resources provided by the mentor. In many cases, the direction taken is limited within this small circle in the domestic arena.

叶小乐 2023-01-13

[XD-9] Indeed, you are a boss. I have been waiting for 6 days for JHM to edit it, and I'm getting really anxious.

XD-9 2023-01-12

Congratulations to "Graphene111" for becoming a PI who can engage in discussions on JHM. It shows that your research has been very good, at least among your peers. It's also good that you are no longer submitting to JHM. In the past few years, nanomaterials have ruined the reputation of many journals. Wasn't there an article in ACS Nano that sarcastically mentioned adding bird droppings to graphene to enhance its performance (mocking current material research, cook, and test)? Of course, I don't know you, and you may not necessarily be involved in nanomaterial research.

According to Web of Science, in 2022, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Tongji University, Nanjing University, Nankai University, Zhejiang University, and Sun Yat-sen University published 40, 30, 52, 39, 30, 39, 48, and 30 articles respectively in JHM. During the same period, they published 36, 24, 55, 67, 38, 16, 24, and 37 articles in Water Research. These numbers include co-authored articles. Considering the number of professors in the environmental field at these universities who can publish in these two journals, it is not likely that many people would have two publications in a year. It is more likely that some people have several publications, while others have none. Therefore, "Graphene111" being able to engage in discussions on JHM makes them outstanding among their peers.

石墨烯111 2023-01-12

Yes, we should work diligently and be honest in our work and in being a person.

Therefore, we should not simply label a magazine as a classic publication just for our own personal gain.

石墨烯111 2023-01-12

Two big shots, I am Pi. I should have the qualifications to distinguish what is a reputable journal.
Which serious journal requires callbacks for publication? Have you seen any classic journals do this?
I submitted another paper to JHM in October and it was accepted today. I won't submit any more. Just because I published in it doesn't mean it's not mediocre.
