The quality of the journal is very good. After submission, there are two reviewers who review the manuscript, and after making relevant revisions and answering related questions, it is directly accepted for publication. The whole process of submission to acceptance takes about half a year. It is worth submitting to, and the impact factor is also increasing.

Submitted in March 2022, accepted in January 2023. Two rounds of revisions. The editor is very responsible. As a well-established journal in petroleum geology, it has a high level of recognition within the industry.

From submission to acceptance, it took about 5 months. The journal has a fast speed, as it was accepted the day after revision. MAPG, as a high-quality journal in petroleum geology, has a relatively high acceptance rate.

Second submission, no news for 4 months after the initial review, reminded the editor and received feedback the next day. Minor revisions took 10 days, and it was resubmitted. Due to the holidays, it was accepted 3 days later. The reviewer was very meticulous, and the editor worked quickly.

The formatting requirements are very high, and the language requirements are also very high.

Before submission, the formatting was modified twice, and the language was modified three times. Even after being polished by the Elsevier Plus editing service, the article still could not meet the requirements (which has never happened before when submitting to other journals). Finally, the editor highlighted all the parts that were not smooth in expression or had inaccurate wording, and downloaded the edited paper to correct the specialized vocabulary one by one. It took a total of 4 months.

After submission, it went relatively smoothly. After receiving feedback from two reviewers and making major revisions, the reviewers agreed to accept it! Then the editor asked for language polishing again... Fortunately, it was eventually accepted!

Overall, the efficiency of the journal is very high. They quickly respond after submission, and the editor is very responsible. The editor is well-known in the same industry, and the reviewers' comments are very professional. However, the language requirements are really high. It feels like the whole submission process is focused on the language. I once thought about withdrawing the submission, but the editor always said that the article was good but needed language modifications... The final result was still good, it was accepted! The field is sedimentology.

P.S. One of the reviewers provided a 6,000-word review in the first round, including a lot of discussions that were not very relevant to the article. It was almost like chatting about life and ideals. But the response in the second round was just one sentence saying they agreed to publish, and I still don't understand what happened!

The review process is quick, the reviewers are very professional, and the quality has greatly improved after the revisions.

Before submitting, carefully complete the manuscript according to the requirements. Some formatting details are not specifically stated in the guideline. After submission, the manuscript will be returned for formatting revisions within approximately 30 days in the hands of the editor. After making the required changes, resubmitting is necessary. The editor has been changed, but there have been no changes in the past 10 days. I hope the article can be reviewed and good suggestions can be provided for the content.

1 and a half months with the editor, 1 month for review, 2 minor revisions, and 20 days to make changes. It will be directly accepted half a month later. The overall quality of MPG is decent, but there are also some filler articles. The impact factor is expected to exceed 4. In conclusion, it can be considered as a good journal in the second quartile.

The review process was fast, with only two minor revisions required before the paper was accepted for publication. However, I am dissatisfied with the typesetting as two minor issues occurred during the publishing process.

One week with the editor; one and a half months for review; two major revisions and one minor revision; submit after modifications and get directly accepted.

It has been a month with the editor, I hope it can be reviewed.

我冲冲冲 2021-03-17

It has been under review since September, and the state date has changed twice in between. It doesn't feel as quick as they said.

八只松鼠 2021-02-17

The first and second reviews were both completed in less than 2 months, which was very fast. I feel that the overall speed in the past two years has been relatively fast, except for a few unlucky cases with slow speed.
Both reviewers provided constructive feedback and the paper was accepted after revisions.
Wishing MPG continued success.

The review process was very fast! Submitted at the end of September 2020, returned for revisions for over a month, reviewed by three professionals who provided very professional opinions! After two rounds of revisions, it was accepted on January 7, 2020!!!
