Because I heard that the reviewers for this journal are very knowledgeable, their opinions are likely to be more professional.

2021.11.24 Submission
2022.1.3 Received notice of major revisions, one positive, one neutral, and one negative. The positive reviewer passed it directly, while the neutral reviewer raised many detailed questions about a specific chapter, which I did not anticipate having different interpretations. So I made thorough revisions. The final negative reviewer's comments were very subjective and did not mention any specific issues, only stating that the article's description was unclear. However, after careful modifications, I resubmitted it.
2022.1.17 Returned with major revisions.
2022.1.19 Minor revisions. The neutral reviewer had a few remaining unclear questions, so I explained and resubmitted it.
2022.1.25 Accepted.
2022.1.26 Returned with proofreading modifications.
2022.1.26 Pending conversion and conversion skipped.
Overall, it is not bad. Some of the comments are even better than those from some good journals. This version had the most changes I made and I am quite satisfied.

Will I receive an email about the status of pending minor revisions?

Melody 2022-01-26

Do you receive an email when the status is pending minor revision?

Melody 2022-01-26

I would like to ask what does "pending major revisions" mean? I haven't received any emails from the editor either.

First time submitting to this journal, just recording it.
Submitted on 11/16, received feedback from the editor on 11/30. It was difficult to find reviewers, so they asked me for recommendations, but in the end, they did not use the reviewers I recommended.
First review received on 12/24: 4 reviewers, major revisions requested, given 14 days to make the changes.
Revised version submitted on 1/3.
Minor revisions requested on 1/7, almost no comments, just changed the name of a figure.
Returned on the same day, 1/7.
On the evening of 1/7, it changed to "pending editor decision."
In general, the review process was fast, suitable for scholars in urgent need of results.
Based on the feedback received, most reviewers focused more on the experimental section and language.

Sorry, I don't know how to delete comments. I just realized that the paper's order is not sequential, that's why you can't see it.

Cethy 2021-12-26

Sorry, I would like to consult everyone about this. Will all the papers in this journal be indexed by SCI? Why can't some of them be found?

Received a notice for minor repairs in 23 days after the first review, and returned in 5 days. Got a job offer within a week, the speed is really fast!

The review speed of IJGI is relatively fast, usually with three reviewers. The number of articles published this year has increased, so the speed is not as fast as before, but it is still much faster than traditional journals. My general submission progress is as follows:
- Submitted on the same day
- Under review 2 days later
- Approximately 35 days pending minor revision
- Accepted after making modifications.

shenxiu 2021-11-25

Received the first-instance suggestions after 23 days, currently in the process of making revisions, thank you.

shenxiu 2021-11-02

Wow, that's impressive. May I ask how many reviewers will be reviewing my paper? My paper focuses on energy, particularly renewable energy. I'm not sure if it will be rejected because of this.

What I do is related to solar energy, renewable energy, and methods.

shenxiu 2021-11-02

After being rejected by other journals, I want to try submitting to IJGI because it is fast. So I decided to give it a try. The first time I submitted, it took about 5 days for them to reject it because I didn't include a cover letter. They asked me to resubmit, and after I did, it took about 3 days for them to assign an editorial assistant. It is now under review, and I am waiting, hoping for good luck. Thank you!

shenxiu 2021-11-02

Did you submit the non-geography related one for review later?

lukaluka 2021-10-22

Finally, waited for 11 days to accept.

Hello, may I ask if your article is closely related to the scope of this magazine? I submitted an article that is unrelated to geography, and I'm not sure if it can be reviewed.

GeoPrimary 2021-10-18

I actually submitted it for ISPRS. The journal's quality is above average in the field, considering that the geography association only classifies it as a T3 level journal. However, the speed is indeed very fast, suitable for students or teachers who are eager to publish their research findings. Recently, I had three reviewers for my article, and they were quite responsible. One common point among them is that they highly value language proficiency and the logic of the introduction. As long as not all three opinions are negative, they usually provide an opportunity for major revisions. It is important to make the necessary revisions, respond to each point, and there shouldn't be any major issues.

GeoPrimary 2021-10-18

Actually, I submitted it with ISPRS in mind. The journal quality is above average in the field, and it has a fast publication speed.

FengGaoGis 2021-10-15

Since starting work after completing my postgraduate studies, I have published three papers as the first author or corresponding author, with an average speed of two months per publication. Although the quality can only be considered acceptable, it is commendable that one of them has been included in the JCR Q2. I hope to strictly review and improve the quality in the future.

Boss, how long will the final edit be pending?

2021.08.16 Major revision with 3 reviewers
2021.09.01 Minor revision with 1 reviewer

The handling speed of the manuscript is very prompt, and the suggestions provided by the reviewers are also very professional. There are certain requirements for the quality and innovation of the paper.

Excuse me, senior: The email and official website indicate minor revisions, but there are no specific suggestions for modifications. Only one sentence from the academic editor: "Dear authors, I would like to request you to see whether your readers will be benefitted if you include some of these explanations to your paper, where appropriate."

Now, what I need to do is summarize the main points and highlights of the article and send them to the editor. Is that enough? How else should the article be modified?

6.20 The journal's WeChat reminder informed me: After the minor revision, the paper was accepted. The subsequent emails and the official website showed the minor revision, but there were no modification suggestions, only a sentence from the academic editor: "Dear authors, I would like to request you to see whether your readers will be benefitted if you include some of these explanations to your paper, where appropriate."

Urgently seeking help: Now what I need to do is summarize the main idea and key points of the article and send them to the editor, right? How else should I revise the article?

Eastern Europe is not popular for publishing papers. Every time, I silently look at others' submission experiences to select journals. I have published in the first, second, and third quarters before, so this time I want to provide feedback and express gratitude for the previous experiences shared.

January 29, 2021: Submission
March 2, 2021: Minor and major revisions requested by the editor
March 10, 2021: Submitted after major revisions
March 19, 2021: Accepted after two rounds of revisions and polishing
March 23, 2021: Resubmitted
April 4, 2021: Accepted

Compared to the publication time of previous articles, it took longer. It was difficult to find external reviewers based on the editor's feedback. The expert opinions were constructive, and it was not too difficult to publish. It does not require significant innovation. I am preparing to submit two more articles as a trial.

Three reviewers in the first round, two of them provided more comments, but all of them could be addressed with positive responses or corresponding modifications. Overall, it was very helpful in improving the quality of the paper and my writing skills.
