I am confused how much this journal will charge for article publication? In instructions, it mentioned to pay 200 USD for each page, but in next paragraph it mention that "Fifty offprints will be supplied free of charge" as given below. Kindly can anyone guide about it. Thanks

It took 9 months from submission to receiving the first review (major revision), with 2 months given for revisions. After one month, minor revisions were requested, and it took 10 days to return to the editorial department. It was finally accepted half a month later. The whole process took 10 months. The reviewer was very good and nice, but the journal editor's handling speed was extremely slow. I will never submit to a Korean journal again.

Hello, may I ask if this journal has a fast review process? I also want to submit to it, in the field of geology. I am in a hurry to graduate. Can we discuss it? Please.

The impact factor has decreased. I got an article accepted in mid-February this year, and I want to express my feelings about it. After I submitted my manuscript, it was sent for review within two to three days. The first review took about two months, and after receiving the feedback, it required major revisions. I was given two months to make the revisions, and I spent one month on it. After submitting the revised manuscript, it was accepted directly in about a month. It was indexed online four months later. I feel lucky that the process has been relatively smooth so far. I hope the journal can prioritize the speed of peer review and the quantity of publications. I wish it will continue to improve.

Submitted in early June, sent for review on June 15, and still with editor until mid-October (the time was changed once in the middle); Finally, we can’t wait any longer and sent a reminder letter to the editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-chief responded that no suitable external review experts were found. The paper was sent for review again on October 25, and it was rejected on November 17. There was only one external expert’s opinions, saying that the experimental test method is unreliable. Actually, the test methods in the article are all in accordance with the national standards, and we also cited the related articles describing the test methods in detail. The review comments were extremely unprofessional, and the review cycle was long. Please think carefully before submitting!

The speed is relatively slow, the review was still very professional, especially one reviewer gave a lot of detailed comments on grammar, wording, and logic. Hope it gets better and better!

This journal is very slow. Submitted in August 2016, and received the decision of major revision after almost 4 months. After the revision, the review took three months, and then a minor revision, after which the review took another three months, and finally got accepted in December 2017. I will not submit here again. It’s relatively easy to get published here, but it is so slow and each step takes at least two months before the review starts.
