Top journals in the field of environmental ecology, such as GCB and Ecology Letters, are focused on regional and global scale issues, emphasizing innovation and quality of work. The editors and reviewers are highly professional and provide constructive feedback. While there may be rejections and resubmissions, the handling of manuscripts is faster compared to other journals. Submitted on May 17, rejected and resubmitted on June 1, revised on August 13, major revisions on September 23, revised again on November 5, and finally accepted on November 7. The journal has a high reputation, and I hope to publish another article there in the future.

It needs to have global significance, be connected to major issues, have a large scale, but not be nitpicky about details, and be less rigorous than association journals.

The flagship journal in the global change field should be the top tier among both the main journal and its sub-journals, with many articles coming from the sub-journals. I was fortunate to have an article accepted, and the process was very fast. The first review took a month and a half for major revisions, and the second review took three weeks before acceptance. It took just over two months from submission to acceptance.

In my personal opinion, GCB places a strong emphasis on the novelty and interest of research. The research should have global significance, and they are not very picky about details. 

The best part is the speed - I have noticed that articles published online on their website are usually accepted within six months from submission, which is much better than journals like AFM. 

Overall, it is a very authoritative, high-level, and fast-paced journal. Articles with strong innovation and significant impact are worth a try.

Submitted in November 23, received the result one month later. Got one major revision and one minor revision, then got rejected and asked to resubmit. Made revisions in March and got accepted in April. The editor's decision was one level below the reviewers' recommendations

Could you please let me know the title of the article on the impact of soil erosion on carbon? It is closely related to my research direction, and I would like to learn more about it

Just finished a global soil carbon meta-analysis. Emphasis was placed on the impact of soil erosion on global soil carbon. It took half a year from the initial submission to the rounds of major and minor revisions to acceptance, but the speed was not bad.

It wasn't as difficult as I had imagined. Actually, this article was rejected by AGE, Geoderma before. With a try-it attitude, I submitted it to GCB, and to my surprise, it was sent out for review and even given a chance for revisions.

And finally, it got accepted.

Now, the second GCB article has been submitted as well, hoping for good luck. Hehe, my junior brother always says my articles are probably too strong for AGE and Geoderma to accept. Hehe

With the help of collaborators in the early stage, we spent half a year revising it. After one month of submission and minor revisions, it was directly accepted.

January 4th submission
February 16th: Reject and Resubmit, given two months. Three reviewers: one said the methods were unclear, one said the results analysis needed to be supplemented, and the last one gave positive feedback and provided additional analysis suggestions.
April 17th resubmission: added a lot of analysis and content
June 5th: Minor revisions
June 30th: Revisions returned, accepted directly

Hope this helps everyone.

I submitted my work the day before Christmas, it was reviewed 17 days later, and then I received feedback 33 days later. They rejected my submission and gave me two months to resubmit. I'm not sure if this is considered a major revision, but is the chance of acceptance high?

This journal may really be unfriendly towards Chinese people. My paper was under review for 2 months, and in the end, the editorial department rejected it claiming that they couldn't find any reviewers. During the process, they even contacted us to add reviewers, but it was just insincere.
