Borrowing a building.
1. From earth science to environmental science, is it rigorous or too rigorous?
2. Comparing the impact factor of earth science with environmental science, not falling out of the second quartile, is it lucky or very lucky?

The process was quite fast. One of the three reviewers disappeared during the first review, and it took the editor a month to make a decision after the other two reviewers completed their reviews (I should have nudged them). Surprisingly, the paper was accepted after the first review. I wish everyone good luck with getting their papers published in reputable journals.

Very very slow, submitted on August 20th, entered external review on August 21st, it took more than 5 months to find reviewers from 1 to 41, rejected on February 2nd, wasted a lot of time.

I explained the situation to Elsevier's customer service, mentioning that Reviewer #1 has not been responding to the second review. The customer service then forwarded my thoughts. Perhaps the revisions were very solid, as the only reviewer who responded, Reviewer #2, gave an immediate accept. Reviewer #1's first review was also quite positive. The editor then gave a direct accept.

Did you write a reminder letter? Well done! As for me, this foolish editor, after completing the review (experts' opinions are very good), I still have to find another reviewer. The submission was in June 2024, and now in January 2025, I am still looking for a reviewer. The editor (Sandra Carrasco) has no self-assessment ability in academics at all, it's really frustrating. Let's all be careful to avoid this pitfall.

The deputy editor Ali Asgary is very nice, responds to messages quickly, and handles things promptly.

2024.12.23 minor revision, 3 comments, two weeks

Overall, it was a very positive experience. The editor, Chief Editor Carmine Galasso, was prompt in handling the manuscript each time. The reviewers were also professional, paying attention to both the overall and detail aspects. If it wasn't for a major revision that delayed the process, it could have been accepted in just over three months.

How long does the second trial stipulate? Which editor?

(0) Thank | 100分100

I give up, the speed is incredibly slow.
Oct 18, 2024 The major revision is back.
Oct 20, 2024 The first reviewer has already submitted.
Now, the second reviewer is more than half a month overdue, and the editor is still waiting.

I submitted on 8.20, invited 36 people, and only 1 person accepted the review and completed it, indeed very slow.

I have been under review for 5 months. Received 56 review invitations, 2 acceptances, still under review now. The journal is extremely slow, but hoping for good results.
