"Editor:

The map in Figure 1 shows the southern Chinese sea as Chinese territory. This addition to the figure has nothing to do with the contents of the paper and is merely added as a political statement. This issue is disputed in international law, diplomacy and politics.
See also the publisher's note: Taffi, M., 2019. Publisher's note. Catena 172, 883."

咳可可 2021-07-31

Just returned from revisions. The reviewer suggested minor revisions, but the editor asked me to modify the South China Sea portion of the map. I found the reference the editor used, "Taffi, M., 2019. Publisher's note. Catena 172, 883" (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.catena.2018.09.026). It is a statement issued by their publisher, stating that another study on the Yarlung Tsangpo River's research area includes the South China Sea, which is considered controversial but lacks any evidence. I am going to argue with the editor about this, and if necessary, withdraw the submission.

Submitted for review, expect to receive an acceptance notice in about a month.

包尔之金 2021-07-28

Your article under review has been changed several times. I have already made four changes to it. What is the situation?

包尔之金 2021-07-28

Hello, what was the result of your article later? The "under review" date for my article has also changed several times.

包尔之金 2021-07-28

Hello, how did your article turn out? Mine has also undergone several changes while under review.

Editor assigned for almost half a month, why hasn't the external review been completed yet? I hope it's not because they can't find a reviewer.

苏打水 2021-07-14

Excuse me, has the initial review status date changed for you? Since my first under review status, the date has remained unchanged and I am a little worried that the reviewer has not been found.

苏打水 2021-07-14

This needs to be queried on the submission interface of the corresponding author after logging in.

苏打水 2021-07-14

The approximate timeline after submission is as follows:
with editor - reviewer invited - under review
Since the first under review status, there has been no change in the date for over half a month. Is this normal?
I have seen many seniors sharing timelines where under review status changes multiple times, so I am worried that my manuscript has not been sent for review. Could you please advise me?

lanpangzi 2021-07-13

Hello, may I ask that I recently submitted an article, but I only received an email asking me to confirm my contribution to the article. I couldn't find where I can check the status. Where can I find it?

laala 2021-07-12

Okay, thank you for your reply. The date has changed a total of 6 times under review. Does that mean there are 6 reviewers? Some people have told me that the date change is caused by reviewers rejecting the paper. Is it possible for both scenarios? You mentioned the first review takes 3-5 months, so I will patiently wait.

llxaky 2021-07-11

I misspoke, it is repeatedly receiving comments from the reviewers and changing the system status multiple times. Once all the comments are received, there should be a result.

llxaky 2021-07-11

It is estimated that the change in system status is due to the invited review experts receiving the review. Just wait patiently. The speed of the first review of this journal depends on the review experts. It can take as short as 2 months or as long as 3-5 months when it is slow.

Did you submit your moderate revision for review again?

laala 2021-07-07

Submitted in mid-April, under review by the end of April. The start date changed three times from early May to mid-May. It changed once again in mid-June, at the end of June, and in early July. However, the status has always been under review. Does anyone know what's going on? I'm getting a bit anxious.

Cloud诺夏 2021-07-03

From submission to acceptance took about four months, during which it was revised once. There are quality requirements for the language, so it is best to proofread before submitting. Overall, CATENA is faster than before, and the specific information is as follows:
Received at Editorial Office on 10th February 2021
Article revised on 19th May 2021
Article accepted for publication on 29th June 2021.

I wrote an article on screening and reinforcing soil herbaceous plants. After one week of editing, I received a reply stating that there is limited research on geomorphology, so it is not suitable for publication in this journal. They suggested submitting it to "Plant and Soil" instead. I heard that "Plant and Soil" is quite challenging, so it may be difficult to get accepted.

KOBEEE 2021-06-22

Hello, after submitting, the status changed to "under review," then it changed to "waiting for editor recommendation," and then it changed back to "under review." What does this mean?

要努力科研呀 2021-06-22

Two reviewers, one for revision and one for rejection, ultimately rejected it. Let's submit it to another journal.

小洛洛 2021-06-19

Hello, may I ask my colleagues if we still need to go through the process step by step with the author's account after Catena changed the website submission method?

jackielw 2021-06-11

2021.05.8 Submission
Approximately one week for review
During the process, the status changed about five or six times, which honestly made me quite anxious.
Currently, the date is stuck at 2021.6.5 and hasn't changed since. This timeframe is still considered normal, but as a graduate, I rely on it to find a job. I just hope they won't delay it any further and provide a major update in terms of speed!

llxaky 2021-06-10

The editing process is extremely fast, but there are a lot of opinions given by the reviewers. It is truly exhausting to make all the changes. I hope to be accepted for publication as soon as possible.

jlnefu 2021-06-08

One reviewer withdrew during the second review, and upon their return, the minor revisions were directly accepted. The paper was submitted on January 12th, underwent major revisions in early March, returned for minor revisions in early April, and within 2 days of the revisions, it was accepted. The proof was downloaded around May 20th, which was very efficient. However, I delayed the modifications for a month in between.

土壤丶 2021-05-15

I previously submitted to "Plant and Soil", but the editor said it lacked innovation. Then I submitted to "Catena". The first review took over 4 months, and the second review took over 3 months. It took about 10 months in total to be accepted. Overall, it wasn't too difficult, but the process was really slow. If you're not in a hurry to graduate, you can give it a try.

xww 2021-05-12

Hello, may I ask how long did you wait for the final proof? It has been one week past the agreed proof time for mine already.

alfalfa追忆 2021-05-02

I returned to the company for external review for two months. After changing the reviewer, the review was only completed, but the results have not been given yet.

jlnefu 2021-04-30

Two reviewers suggested major revisions, each raising two main issues, and the rest were minor issues. After the revisions were made, it took over half a month for the paper to be under review again, and then it changed to "reviewer invited". Does this mean it was rejected by the original reviewers? Have any of you encountered this situation, my friends?

LLXXPP 2021-04-27

Posted on April 20th, and entered the review process on the 26th. Personally, I feel it is a normal speed.

爱吃桃的小柯柯 2021-04-26

I would like to ask, is there still no news about the submission I made last month?
