Junk journal, very slow, one year of review, minor revision after major revision, the reviewer agreed to publish, the editor-in-chief said it’s not in line with the direction. Waste a year.

(21) Thank | 农业遥感

Submission on June 17, 2019; July 28, major revision; August 11, revised submission; August 22, sent for review; September 25, minor revision; October 3, acceptance. It was published online around October 14. It was very fast and the efficiency was very high.

I wrote the article about geothermal detection by thermal infrared remote sensing. The review was relatively fast, and the questions were professional. I submitted it on January 10, 2019. It was under review on January 11, 2019; major revision was required on January 27, 2019. (One reviewer had a good opinion, approved of the methods, and gave some professional advices. The other two mainly gave four comments in research, some suggestions on grammar and increasing field verification.) I submitted the revision on March 23, 2019. (It was Chinese New Year, so I revised it slowly. And after all the problems were revised, it took three or four days for the professional proofreading.) I was informed of acceptance on March 26, 2019.

OP, your RRC to DIP process is so fast! It's been 20 days for me and there hasn't been any progress. I've sent emails before but the status hasn't changed and the date hasn't been updated either.

Has the status of your RRC changed now? How long have you been waiting roughly? My RRC has been unresponsive for 20 days now.

One of the reviewers for my second review has disappeared, causing a delay in the process. After changing the deadline once, I am now inviting a new reviewer. Will this slow down the process significantly?

Investment was quick before 2023, and in the past two years, there are more Chinese investors. The requirements for format are very strict, and you must provide two layers of skin before investing.

It has been over ten days since the submission was under review and no one has accepted the manuscript yet. What should I do?

(0) Thank | beijixiong1

I am in the process of revisions. The second round of review comments will come back on February 10, 2025, and then I will enter the RRC status. It has been 14 days now, and I still haven't reached "with editor". Brother, how are you doing now?

(0) Thank | 墨眉

No, I didn't submit it directly without making any special formatting changes.

OP, I would like to inquire if there is a specific format template for submitting articles and papers to this journal.

The reviewer's review speed is very efficient and fast. It usually takes about 4 months to be in the hands of the editor, but if the editor is quick, it can be finished in 3 months. Overall, the speed is very fast. Best wishes. Below is the submission experience:

The submission was made on August 10, 2024, and it is now December 19, 2024, but it is still in the out for review stage. What is going on?

(0) Thank | 木子田心

On December 6th, the official website usually sends out the review or rejection results within about two days. However, as of the 14th, there is still no news. The process seems slow, but this is excessively slow.

I would like to ask everyone, is this journal a bit biased in its selection process? I submitted twice, the first time they recommended a journal called Remote Sensing Applications: Society and Environment, I submitted my first article to this journal, and I thought it was fine. But I don't know if this journal thought I was an easy target the second time, I submitted my second article with big names and even funding from the National Natural Science Foundation, but they still rejected me and asked me to submit an article on surveying to a new journal. Am I an easy target? The main reason I am posting this message now is because my article has now been accepted by RSE. I feel like some of the editors of this journal are a bit biased, don't you think?
