Looking at the upgraded version this year, it has entered the first district, and since the impact factor is close to 9, I submitted a paper and tried it out.

Timeline: Submitted on 1/22 - Under review from 1/26 - Reviewer 1 completed the review on 1/26 - Second reviewer accepted the review on 1/28 (to be continued)

I would like to ask how many reviewers JEM usually has from senior colleagues. Also, in the tracking website for the journal progress sent to the corresponding author, does "reviews completed" mean that the content has been submitted? Thank you!

My dip (second review) starts from January 21st!

The journal editor is very efficient. It took 31 days from submission to acceptance:

20221221 Submission
20221225 Revision (by three reviewers)
20230116 Submission of revised manuscript
20230123 Acceptance notification received
Both the editor and the reviewers were very prompt. The journal is getting better and better.

The first article was successfully published after two months; the second article took three months mainly because the editing process was slow, and it usually took more than half a month to receive feedback from the RRC. Overall, the speed is still relatively fast, and the first review is usually completed within a month. Wishing everyone a lot of articles in 2023.

It will take about 4 months.

It took 20 days for the submission to reach the editor, but fortunately, the final outcome was good.

Just a quick question, we noticed that the generated PDF files from submitting now have dense line numbers automatically added. Do we still need to include line numbers in our own manuscripts? Thank you!

Me too, scared to pee... regret it, definitely super slow...

Just submitted an article, and the manuscript number has already reached over 600. This is unbelievable, it's only been 14 days and I've received over 600 submissions. It's too scary.

Submitted in 2021, it has been a year and a half and still under review. I have sent multiple emails to the editor, but have not received any substantial response, only automated replies stating that the inquiry email has been received and will be attended to. It has been a year and a half of processing, and it is truly ridiculous.

spartan2020 2023-01-11

Submitted in 2021, now in 2023, it has been a year and a half, and it has been under review all this time. I have sent multiple emails to the editor, but have not received any response. I cannot withdraw the submission either. This is the first time I have encountered such an irresponsible handling editor, and I will never submit to this journal again. It feels like I have wasted my time writing this article.

Editor Prof. Dr. Petros Gikas is very efficient, with almost no delay. He responds to any updates within 2 days via email. Except for the last reviewer who did not participate after waiting for over half a month, the feedback from the remaining two reviewers was very good. They only provided a total of 3 suggestions, all of which were "accept after revision." After sending the revised version back in 3 days, it was accepted after waiting for another 3 days. The entire process took 2 and a half months. Prof. Dr. Petros Gikas even worked on Christmas Eve and sent me the proof. This coincided with my application to Sun Yat-sen University, so I must give a thumbs up!

March 19th submission;
September 22nd, the first review was completed, with four reviewers. One reviewer directly believed that it did not meet the scope of the journal and suggested rejection, while the other three reviewers provided positive suggestions. The editor requested major revisions.
November 26th, resubmission, followed by minor revisions one week later. Two reviewers agreed to accept, while one pointed out a few minor formatting issues.
December 10th, resubmission, and formally accepted on December 20th.
Overall, this journal has a high quality in the field of environmental management, with high-quality articles and minimal suspicion of plagiarism. The speed of the review process could be improved, but the overall quality is high. If there is no urgent time constraint, it is worth considering submitting to this journal.

After adding the editor, it took less than a day for the decision to be in process. Does this mean it will be rejected?

The editor in charge of this article did a good job, and the handling process was relatively fast, taking a total of 2 months... By the way, I submitted a review article, and all three reviewers gave very good comments and suggestions, totaling 23. I made revisions myself for 10 days, and my teacher helped me revise for 3 days. Both the teacher and I worked hard during those days (it was worth it). Today, it has been accepted, and I am happy to share it with everyone.
