One of the three major journals of the Ecological Society of America (ESA), with extremely high quality and reputation. It is of high difficulty and relatively only a few articles from China every year could be published. The main publication direction is the application of ecological principles in ecological environment management. And it also welcomes articles on the combination of society and ecology.

ESA's old journal. It is more conservative, but it is more open than Ecology. The scope is also a bit wider than the traditional field of Ecology. It will consider papers related to the impact of human activities and ecological and environmental fields such as global change. The review speed is relatively slow.

Maybe because I have been rejected too many times before, especially NP and JoE both rejected me. My supervisor insisted on trying this one. I didn't care much and just gave it a try. I didn't expect to be accepted, but surprisingly there were very few comments and it was relatively easy to revise. Although it is a second-tier journal, my supervisor is still very happy.

The submission was made on April 25, 2024, and it has been in the "Awaiting reviews" status for over two months now. It's been almost 7 months since submission, and this wait time is too long.

Why are there so few reviews for this journal? It seems like ecological journals have very few reviews. Maybe it's just a niche field

One of the three major journals of the Ecological Society of America. It is highly influential in the field of ecology, focusing on understanding and application rather than impact factor. Although it is classified as a second-tier journal by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it is not easy to publish articles in it. The number of articles published by Chinese researchers on it each year does not exceed 3% of the total number of publications.

The number of articles published in classic ecological journals is very low, and they do not pursue hot topics. Therefore, unlike those environmental journals that strive to increase their impact factor, most of those environmental journals have become essentially Chinese specialized publications.

The sister journal of ESA, Ecology, is difficult to publish in if one is not a prominent figure in the mainstream ecological community. Very few people in China are able to get published in this journal every year. It has a significant influence in the ecological community in the United States, but unfortunately, it is categorized as a second-tier journal by the Chinese Academy of Sciences due to its traditional direction and lack of pursuit of hot topics. Its impact factor has been stagnant for a long time.
