- Finally accepted. Overall, the efficiency of the editor was quite high, but there were some difficulties during the external review. It took from April 7th to June 25th to find the first reviewer, and the opinions of three reviewers were not completed until July 13th. Two of them required minor revisions, and one accepted it directly. Although the review process was relatively long (probably due to the lack of available reviewers in the field), the reviewers were still very nice and thorough. They provided good suggestions for the graphical abstract, introduction, and even highlights. Overall, there were no major issues, and Editor Gui-Peng Yang did a great job and directly ensured its acceptance.
- The journal is still very good, although its impact factor has decreased a bit this year. It used to be a top journal in the Chinese Academy of Sciences Tier 2. I hope it will continue to improve this year. Best wishes for the continued success of the MPB journal!

I submitted it pretty quickly last year, and it took seven days without being reviewed. I sent an email to inquire and they said the editor-in-chief was still evaluating it. Then, after another seven to eight days, it was sent for review. The comments from the first reviewer will determine the overall efficiency of the editor-in-chief, which is quite high.

23 Feb 2023 Still With Editor, may I ask how long until it can be under review or rejected? I'm in a bit of a hurry to graduate.

Submitted to acceptance in less than 2 months, thanks to the swift handling of the editor and reviewers, without any delays or dragging. Hoping to be in the top 2 districts by the end of the year.

--- Finally accepted, the overall efficiency is very high, but unfortunately, the Chinese Academy of Sciences ranked it too low. I wonder if it will still be classified as a third-tier journal in the upgraded version this year.
--- After making the changes and submitting it, it went under review the next day. The efficiency of the chief editor is high!
--- Three reviewers were found, but the editor only adopted two opinions, one major revision and one minor revision. The editor gave a major revision, with three months for revision. This is the first time I have seen such a long revision time. Keep revising!
--- Overall, it's quite fast. Previously, I submitted to General Environmental Pollution and Journal of Hazardous Materials, but they were not sent for review. Finally, Molecular Plant Biology was sent for review. I hope it gets accepted.

---Finally accepted, the overall efficiency was very high, but unfortunately it was assigned to a low-ranking journal. I wonder if it will still be classified as a third-tier journal in the upgraded version this year.
---After making the changes and submitting, it went under review the next day. The efficiency of the editor-in-chief is really high!
---I found three reviewers, but the editor only took two opinions - one major revision and one minor revision. The editor requested a major revision, giving a three-month timeframe for revisions. This is the first time I've seen such a long revision period. Keep making changes!

Posted on February 1st, under review since February 24th. In between, it changed on April 8th, May 10th, and June 8th. It has been under review until now. Is there anything longer than this waiting time? I'm about to cry.

Translated into English:
On May 25th, I submitted an article to the Marine Pollution Bulletin. On May 26th, it showed as "under review," and it has been under review ever since. I would like to ask any experts who have recently submitted to this journal, how should I interpret this situation?

Another submission in late December 2021, returned for revisions by the end of April, and accepted for publication one month after the revisions. Compared to EP and the overall environment, the difficulty is indeed much lower, but the review and editing process is very slow. The chief editor is still alright, but the processing speed of several associate editors is really slow. Each time, it takes a month to wait in the hands of the editor. Taking advantage of the fact that it is still a second-tier journal, I have published two papers in it. By the end of the year, the basic scoring zone will no longer exist, and it is highly likely that this journal will be upgraded to a third-tier. It is not worth submitting to it again.

The whole process was quite arduous, experiencing two rounds of revisions, but it was also due to flaws in my own paper. After 10 months, it was finally accepted, and the outcome is good. I hope the journal continues to improve.

Catching up with Christmas, but it didn't delay much. In less than a month, thanks to the editor Michel Boufadel for his high efficiency in handling, the revision was completed and accepted. Previously, it would usually take about a month to receive the results for this submission.

Stayed in the hands of the editor for 20 days before being submitted for review, too slow.

Submission in October, acceptance in December, the review process was very fast with three reviewers providing many professional opinions. The manuscript was accepted two weeks after responding to the review comments. Thank you to the editor and reviewers for their efforts.

Posted on July 31st, rejected on October 11th. The article has many shortcomings, including language issues. I am preparing to make revisions based on the reviewer's comments and submit it again.

Excuse me, may I ask if the author accepts articles about lake pollution?

Hello, recently I just received the first review email. The editor mentioned that they have already had the English editor modify the language and asked me to make further modifications based on that. The edited manuscript is uploaded in EM (please click on "view reviewer attachment" to download the file). However, I cannot find the button or link in the system or email. May I ask what the situation is on your end? Should I send an email to the editor to inquire about this? Thank you.
