CHINESE JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICS-CHINESE EDITION

Submitted on March 23rd, notified on March 29th that the manuscript needed to be paginated and line numbered. After adding them on the same day, it was resubmitted and sent for review a few days later. On May 7th, received comments from three reviewers, two of whom seemed to be experts familiar with the field and asked very professional questions. The overall suggestion was minor revisions. After making the modifications, added a lot of introduction about the current research status and background in the introduction, conducted a simulated experiment, and made some changes to the abstract. Revised it on May 16th, and it currently shows that the revisions have been reviewed. Not sure about the final outcome yet! The Qiu Bao journal is known as the graduation journal for students of the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Although its reputation is not bad domestically, with the country strongly advocating for publication of research findings in domestic journals, I hope to have one article accepted.

May I ask how long it takes for you to provide feedback on the external review after it is completed? The status of my manuscript currently shows that the external review has been returned for almost a week, but I haven't received any updates from the editors yet.
