The article requires a certain degree of creativity, and the reviewers’ opinions are very professional. It was reviewed again after revised submission. The rejection rate has been relatively high in recent years. A very professional journal in the field of marine engineering and geology engineering.

Journals that review submissions quickly will usually accept them as long as they fall within the scope of the journal.

Three reviewers, minor revisions were made and the paper was accepted. However, before it was published, it was downgraded from tier 3 to tier 4. I am devastated

Topic relevance is very important in articles, it must be related to the ocean. The last two submissions were rejected because they did not align with the main theme. The review process for this journal is very short, and both the editors and reviewers are very efficient and responsible. Surprisingly, there were five reviewers

In the field of marine geology and ocean mining, this is a very good journal, with a good level of recognition. I wish the editor-in-chief, John Wiltshire, a lifetime of peace and happiness, and hope that the journal will continue to improve!

The editor pays special attention to language, and even minor revisions may be rejected if the language is not up to standard. It is recommended to proofread before submitting.

The editor is very friendly and responds quickly. If you have any questions, you can directly email the editor. I personally sent an email explaining that the reviewer was deliberately making things difficult, and the editor accepted my explanation. After making the revisions, it was not sent for review again. The editorial board directly accepted it after discussion.

The topic must be relevant, otherwise it is likely to be rejected directly. I submitted two articles, but the second one was rejected after review:
20/2/2019, submitted to journal
24/2/2019, under review
10/5/2019, rejected

The manuscript review process is fast, usually around one month, with two reviewers. After making the revisions, the acceptance notice is received the next day upon submission.

It's getting harder and harder. The application has been rejected. There are high requirements for the originality and language of the paper.
