Eight months for the first review, six months for the second review, it took two years from submission to acceptance of an article. I have never seen such an unreasonable journal before. However, the final result is good, and I am very grateful

May I ask how long it took you with the editor? It feels like the speed is a bit slower this year compared to previous years.

Overall it's okay. There were three rounds, with the first round being a major revision, the second round a minor revision, and the third round also a minor revision. After the modifications, it was accepted. The feedback was very objective, and most of the issues were well addressed, although some were challenging. However, the reviewer was quite good. Keep working hard and striving.

The journal's impact factor should be good, but it's already April 2022 and I submitted my paper in July 2021, and I still haven't received the first-round review. The reviewing speed is extremely unreasonable, so if you have strict requirements for speed, I suggest being cautious. Even those who don't have specific speed requirements will reach their breaking point. It's been 8 months for the first-round review, an unbelievable speed.

The desktop rejection submitted at the end of July was quickly rejected by the editor before it was sent for review in early August.

Submitted, rejected one month later without review, efficiency is considered acceptable.

GEC is an old top journal in geography, and it is also a top journal in the field of environmental science and ecology, which is very difficult to be accepted. It has published many highly cited classic articles. It is very strong, but the visibility in China is not high.

The manuscript was submitted in August 2017 and first review was returned in November with two review comments, requiring one minor revision and one major revision. They hadn’t invited a suitable reviewer after revised submission. In April 2018, a reviewer was recommended as requested. After the recommendation, it was accepted by editor. Personally, I thought this journal cares more about environmental policies than model and technology issues. It was published soon after acceptance.

The speed of submission is very fast. After submitting the manuscript for one week, it will be submitted for review in one month. It will be re-submitted for about four weeks, and will be submitted again after about one month.The review comments are very professional and very good, although very strict, but according to the reviewer's comments, the quality of the article is directly improved.
