It took 6 months for inviting the reviewers. All of the reviewers in the second review could not be contacted, and finally, the responsible editor could not be contacted. Later, the editor reviewed it again, and it took two years in total.

Submission cycle is slightly long, and the review process is relatively strict

I think there's nothing wrong with this classification. To be honest, this journal has basically been in the top tier except for recently. The classification can vary, it's possible that it will return to the top tier this year. Besides, often it's not just about the classification, good journals, good articles, good results, smart people understand, the opinions of those who don't understand are meaningless

First experience of submitting a paper to TC was not bad: Submitted at the end of September 2022, got rejected on November 1st due to language and logic issues but can resubmit, took 1-2 months to revise and resubmit, received external review comments in about 50 days, then had to respond to referees first, battled for 2 months, quickly got asked to submit a revised manuscript, accepted by the end of June 2023, hats off to The Cryosphere journal!

This magazine has a high level of recognition. If we refer to some journals in the first zone, this journal definitely should not be in the second zone. Similarly, it is unreasonable for HESS in EGU. The transcendence coefficient of the Documentation and Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences selectively undervalues the journals of EGU and AGU.

The text translates to English as: "The homepage is pushing in. The Dreamy Love Journal, unexpectedly, is not in the first section?"

What is the classification of the Chinese Academy of Sciences? Intelligence Center, please don't embarrass our academy, okay?

Dream Love Magazine. The recent number of publications seems to be increasing slightly, but the difficulty remains high and the peer review process is very strict. However, is it worthwhile to submit to this journal when the classification by the Chinese Academy of Sciences is so flawed?

It took two years to pass? That's too slow.

I agree with the evaluation above, it is indeed a prestigious journal in the polar field with good industry reputation. However, the speed is too slow, so be cautious if you are in a hurry to graduate. It takes almost a year from submission to acceptance.

The Cryosphere (TC) is widely recognized as a top journal in the field of geosciences and is considered the number one publication in the cryosphere domain. However, seeing that the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has downgraded the Geophysical Research Letters (GRL) to the second tier, it is not surprising that TC is currently facing a similar situation. Institutions genuinely dedicated to research should unite and resist the CAS's journal ranking system.
