After the first review (with one positive and one negative comment) in Nature Sustainability, the manuscript was transferred to CEE editors and then sent back to the original reviewers at NS. It was accepted without further review. It seems that CEE journal has lower requirements than other Nature sub-journals

What happened afterwards? Can the original poster share?

Is the original poster not in the "under consideration" status?

Submitting to NC was tough, the review process was very strict with two professors from top universities as reviewers. The first round of review took one month, and the major revision took two months, almost redoing half of the content. After resubmission, it was theoretically accepted after another half month, but 30 questions were raised and once they were addressed, it was officially accepted. The editing was of high quality, helping me refine the title and summarizing the abstract from 300 words to 150, which I just needed to review. The quality of the paper has indeed improved a lot, and I have learned a lot. Great journal!

Because it is a new journal, no one on LetPub pays attention to it.

The co-editor of the same journal recommended transferring after rejection, and it is also unknown what the acceptance level of the new journal is.

After being rejected by NC, my boss asked me to choose between EST and this one. In the end, I decided to submit to this one. The questions asked were quite simple, just minor issues regarding instrument information and such. After two minor revisions, it was accepted, taking a total of 7 months. However, for the next article, I don't want to submit to this one anymore. I still want to try EST, after all, it is a well-established journal.

Will the journal Nature Communications Earth & Environment accept articles that involve data analysis of human populations and animal experimental validation? Specifically, regarding the effects of environmental pollutants on health.

The quality of the articles on CEE is quite good now. Basically, they are mostly contributed by authors who have previously published in NC and then switched to CEE. It can be temporarily defined as a subsidiary journal. Depending on the situation, next year's impact factor should exceed 10. I wonder if it will upgrade to a Q1 journal next year? Also, why did letpub only give it a rating of 0.5?

The editing process is very efficient, except for a delay during Christmas in December~

It has been almost 5 months since the first trial, and there has been no reply yet. I won't invest anymore in the future.
