On the second day of submission, it was under review. About two months later, the result of review was returned and it was rejected. There were two reviewers. What one said were basically language problems and other minor problems. The other one was sharp, and I felt that the work was reduced to nothing. And then, it was rejected.

Pedosphere's formatting requirements are rather strange, even the submitted text will be modified to single-spaced without notice. The editor responds harshly. Oh well, it is still need to be submitted to a foreign journal. The reviewers’ comments are quite sincere. Thanks to the reviewers! The others are hard to tell...

It was rejected after submission, but comments were given for revision and resubmission. It was about half a year after submission, major revision was required. It was accepted after revision. It was accepted in September 2016, it has been nearly 3 years, but it hasn’t formally been published yet. During the period, I made three phone calls for consultation. The results were always the same: it was in line. Listening to the tone, I feel I have to wait another year.

Overall Pedosphere's manuscript quality is increasing year by year, and the peer review includes three international experts. My  personal suggestion is that a high quality manuscript can be sent to top journals, such as SSSAJ, Geoderma, European Journal of Soil Science, etc., if you feel just OK about your work, it is better to choose Pedosphere.

I applied to extend the deadline for revisions, but the editor ignored it. I have never encountered this before. Does anyone know if other journals have this kind of situation?

Excuse me, is it normal for the status of the manuscript to be "waiting for administrator processing" for a week after submitting to this journal?

Submitted in December last year (as a TOP in the first district).
April 17 major revision, with one month for modifications. Three reviewers are all quite professional, pointing out many minor issues. Luckily, none of them are difficult to address. The response letter is longer than the actual manuscript.
Revised on May 13.
Minor revisions on June 6.
Revised again on June 17.
Accepted on July 2.
Still awaiting production checklist.
Downgraded to non-TOP in the second district, unsure if it can climb back in 2024. Progress is slow, so please do not rush to submit. After looking at some of their paper timelines, most cycles are over a year.

The opinions of the four reviewers are excellent. It's a pity that they were not understood

(6) Thank | zhang

Why doesn't the system display the updated date of the manuscript status? It was only recently submitted and already moved to the second district. I'm so angry

How does this journal inform if a manuscript has been sent for external review? Do they send an email to the corresponding author? Being "under review" immediately after submission means it is still with the editorial team, right?

I submitted my application on December 18th and it showed "Under Review" the next day. How long will it be in this status, and how will I know if it has been reviewed?

(0) Thank | 小草999

Yes, there are comments from the reviewers

Hello, after submitting my manuscript in September, the status has been "under review" for over two months. Is this time considered too long? Should I send a reminder email?

(0) Thank | Liuyx

How do we know how many reviewers there are? Do we have to wait for their comments to come back?
