Do we have any results now, brother? I submitted mine a month earlier than you, but the first review still hasn't yielded any results.

Currently submitting a manuscript and encountering many issues. I am establishing an EST submission and communication group. I invite those who have experience in manuscript submissions or have questions about the process to join the group to exchange and learn together.

Excerpt from the guide for authors. It is stated clearly above what counts towards the word count and what does not.
asia0221 2022-11-12
The length of an article can be determined by counting all the text, excluding the title page, references, and figure/table captions. Additionally, for each small figure, scheme, or table that occupies part of a page, 300 words should be added. On the other hand, large multipart figures, extensive tables, detailed maps, or chemical pathways that take up a full page or more should be counted as 600 words. However, it is up to the assigned editor's discretion to count some figures or tables as more than 600 words.

Hello, I see in the submission guidelines that it says 7,000 word-equivalents, but I didn't find any specific instructions on how to calculate the word count. I've read in other comments that large graphics might be counted as words.
KEYYYYY 2022-11-12
Hello, I would like to ask if this 7000 characters are the main text content? I noticed in the submission guidelines it says "7,000 word-equivalents," and from other comments, it seems that large images might be counted as part of the word count.

To access the system, click on the "Instructions&Forms" located on the upper right corner, and you will be able to see it.

My situation is also strange, without the previous process, it directly goes under review. I also don't know if it can be considered as already sent for external review.

May I ask if this chronological order can be directly viewed in the submission system? After I submit, it directly shows "under review" without the previous steps of "submitted" and the editing assignment process.

How long does the first instance review take? Will I be notified by email when the first instance review is completed?

May I ask how long it takes to receive the proof after being hired? It has been over a week and I still haven't received any information about the edited manuscript.

Has it been two months and there is still no feedback from the first-instance opinion?
asia0221 2022-10-23
Not included, take a look at what is clearly stated in the "guide for authors" which does not count towards the word count.

May I ask if the 7000-word requirement for EST submission includes references or similar?

From August 24th to October 10th, after a month and a half of external review, a decision on editing has finally been made: minor revisions, with a deadline of three weeks. The raised questions are not very challenging and mostly involve specific expressions.
asia0221 2022-10-08
Thank you, this editor is really fast. Our team previously had an article that was very efficient, congratulations! Wishing for good luck.

May I ask who the editor assigned to you is?

The first article of my master's degree finally got accepted, which is quite encouraging. It was submitted in early June, edited three days later, reviewed after more than twenty days, and returned for revisions at the end of July. Due to the pandemic, I had to wait until September to resubmit it. Fortunately, it was accepted one week later, and then went through some further revisions. I feel very lucky and wish everyone success.

The assistant responsible for editing signs the reply, marking it as from the editing office.
asia0221 2022-09-30
Thank you, did the responsible editor reply to me?

After one year, my thesis has finally been published in ES&T. It has become increasingly difficult to publish in ES&T in my field (drinking water treatment), so I am very fortunate to have been able to publish an article there. The submission process was as follows:
October 25, 2021: Submission
December 13, 2021: Rejected with the option of resubmission. Three reviewers approved the research topic and methods, but felt that more experiments were needed to validate the results. The editor gave a rejection with the opportunity to resubmit within 180 days.
May 20, 2022: Resubmission after supplementary experiments and revisions.
August 29, 2022: Major revision. The editor sent the manuscript back to the original two reviewers and added a new reviewer. The original two reviewers were satisfied with the revisions, but the new reviewer had some suggestions and requested major revisions.
September 14, 2022: Minor revision. One of the reviewers was not satisfied with the response to a particular comment and requested further modifications.
September 28, 2022: Format changes and acceptance pending. Requested some minor formatting adjustments.
September 29, 2022: Accepted.

Just click on your own account and send a message to the editor.
asia0221 2022-09-27
May I ask how you sent the inquiry? My article is also in peer review and I have been waiting for a long time as well.
白发阿叔 2022-09-26
My manuscript has been under review since 8.24. After more than two weeks, there has been no change, so I decided to ask whether the editor is still selecting or if it has entered peer review. The editor's assistant quickly replied, saying that it is already in the peer review process and they are waiting to receive the necessary external opinions before making a decision. I am still waiting, but the displayed status remains as "under review".

Ph.D. Deng, may I ask if you have received the review comments? I haven't received them yet. I submitted the paper in February and it has been under review for 40 days.
