The journal is excellent, and the editor's efficiency and professionalism are outstanding. The reviewers and editors gave very constructive feedback, and the quality of the article improved significantly after revisions. I hope the journal can continue to improve, and maybe even reach the top tier next year

Journal Guide: The International Journal of Coal Geology deals with fundamental and applied aspects of the geology, petrology, geochemistry and mineralogy of coal, oil/gas source rocks, and shales. Please pay attention to the Aims & Scope before submitting your manuscript, otherwise it may be rejected

A few years ago, this journal was still in the first zone, but now it has become more popular. Several classmates around me who specialize in geology have several papers on coal geology. It would be strange if it didn't rise to the top zone!

Will the editor make decisions sequentially if there is only one reviewer?

Only one reviewer has accepted the review and provided feedback, while the other reviewer has not responded yet. What should I do?

Submitted in April, results come out in June, one major revision, one minor revision. The editor rejected the submission, but encouraged resubmission. Based on the revision comments, diligently made revisions for two months. In September, chose the same editor to submit again. Three months after submission, the editor returned the submission, surprisingly citing the reason of not being able to find appropriate reviewers.

Relationships are indeed a serious matter. It is highly unlikely for newcomers to get on board. It is advisable to give a heads-up before making any investment.

Coal geology has been on a decline, and they have replaced the chief editor with someone who specializes in coal. The level feels average, and they are not friendly. The assessment of articles heavily relies on the reviewers, and they receive a significant number of articles from acquaintances, but the quality is mediocre. Perhaps to maintain a high impact factor, the number of published articles has drastically decreased in the past two years, but this is not a long-term solution. The number of influential articles is decreasing, and good articles are being submitted to other journals.

Recently, the number of articles on coal and coal-bed methane has increased, and the editors have higher and higher requirements for the innovation and novelty, and favor articles with new technology methods. But there are also some articles of general quality. However, the overall quality is constantly rising, and it is getting harder and harder to submit.

Many articles on International Journal of Coal Geology are very general and it may be related to the authors from the editorial board. I submitted two manuscripts, and the reasons for rejection were incredible. There was only one reviewer, who said that there was a problem with the discussion of the method, and it will not be given the opportunity to be resubmitted after rejection. The journal impact factor should be improved by the number of publications. After all, there are more than 100 articles per year. The goodwill for IJCG has been declining recently.

My second article on coalbed methane was finally published in this famous journal, although it has been revised over and over again 3 times!Congratulations to yourself, thank yourself for yourself!I am especially grateful to the editor-in-chief, Professor Dai Shifeng for his meticulous and rigorous attitude. The professor also helped me to modify it three times very carefully and put forward very valuable suggestions for modification. Even the punctuation marks helped me to modify it.thank you very much!Benefits!

Two days after the submission, the notice was sent to the reviewer. After reviewing the drafter, and then there was no news for 40 days, I sent an email to the editor, and then refused the manuscript, saying that it is inappropriate for the journal, are you kidding me?Not suitable, do you still tell me to submit a review?Really wasted time

From submission to recruitment for a full three months, one overhaul and two mid-repairs, two of which were mainly revised for Karacan's comments, in order to prove my point of view, added a lotThe experimental data also cites some high-level influential literature to support the evidence. The two reviewers are very professional. The editor Karacan's opinions are more unique and the requirements are very strict. For the doubts of Karacan, the experiment or literature must be taken.The data will convince him, otherwise he will be allowed to modify it again and again, until the rework opportunity is exhausted.Remarks: The key point of the literature supports the use of journals with industry influence, otherwise it is not convincing.

was directly rejected by the editor-in-chief after being submitted by the editor. After the overhaul, the manuscript was resubmitted and explained the reason for the re-submitment.Very lucky, for review.It is recommended to overhaul.Modify it twice after overhaul.accept!I lost 5 pounds for this manuscript.The overall feeling: the requirements are extremely strict, and too much has been learned from the process of repeated revisions.

The younger brother submitted the manuscript and revised it for 3 times. The final rejection was very strict. The general cycle was 6 months.

The journal review speed was relatively slow, about three months, and the opinions were very professional.The reviewers are very serious and have made a lot of changes to the grammar of the paper.In general, journals are slow to review and have higher requirements for English.Of course, the papers must also be highly innovative, otherwise they will not be submitted for review.The journal factor is rising year by year, it is very optimistic!

Its influence in coal geology is significant. The journal is not very demanding on innovation. The journal has three main directions, each of which is under the responsibility of three editors.
