Environmental Toxicology has been placed on the "On Hold" list by Clarivate Analytics. This decision has sparked widespread attention and discussion. Journals on the "On Hold" list will temporarily stop accepting new articles during the reevaluation period, indicating that the quality and academic integrity of these journals are under strict scrutiny. Journals on the "On Hold" list will undergo a comprehensive quality assessment, and if they do not meet the standards, they may be removed from the core database. This process not only impacts the journals themselves but also has significant implications for the submission choices of many researchers.

Can I withdraw the submission that has already been online after realizing it's on hold? Will it have any impact if I resubmit it later?

Even if accepted, articles in the "on hold" status will not be published. Accepted articles will only be held at the magazine until the status is resolved. However, journals in the "on hold" status are often eventually removed from SCI, with only a few passing the review process. Don't wait any longer, withdraw your submission and submit it elsewhere.

Hello teachers, after submitting your manuscript, the editor has sent an email requesting that you add a verifiable email address to your account and all co-author accounts. Institutional email addresses are preferred, but webmail addresses may be used if they are listed on authoritative institutional websites. Verifiable addresses can be included as a cc address if authors prefer to keep their current webmail contact address. How should we solve this email issue?

How can I tell that the status "under review" means that a reviewer has not been found yet? It has been four months. Hmm, should I email the editor to inquire about the current status...?

According to the requirements of the journal, but not all journals have the same requirements

Keyword selection should cover the key industries of the manuscript as much as possible. For example, choosing four keywords, the first two keywords can define the scientific research industry or the other half of scientific research, and the last two keywords can select research methods and research techniques, making it easy for readers to find the author's manuscript from each perspective

It's pretty fast. The submission was reviewed in 10 days, with less than a month for the review process, followed by 3 months for revisions, which were very professionally done. The revised version was accepted within 5 days
