Can you please clarify if "under review" refers to an internal audit or an external audit? If it is an internal audit, will the status change after the external audit is completed?

Does "under review" mean that it has been sent for peer review?

I just submitted my application and it has been "under review" for 10 days already. Haven't received any updates yet. Does this mean it is under evaluation?

The application was submitted in April, and about 1 week later it showed "under review." There has been no further progress or updates since then

From the submission to acceptance and online publication took 7 months, which seems relatively fast based on the comments from everyone. As a professional journal with high recognition in limnology and oceanography, the reviewers' comments were very professional. These classic journals have low publication rates and high requirements for innovation, which cannot be compared to high-impact environmental journals

Excuse me, after a few hours of submitting, it changed to "under review," and then after 5 days, the status became "pending recommendation." Does this mean it's not looking good? It feels too soon, perhaps the editorial review did not pass?

The original text, "楼主这个耗时1年，确实够慢的," translates to English as "OP, this took one year, indeed quite slow."

Personal second LO, the overall level of the journal is very high, and the review process is also very strict. The LO's reputation in the field of oceanography needs no introduction, but the review period is indeed too long.

Submitted on 22nd March 2018
Major revision on 12th August 2022
Revision requested on 3rd October 2022
Minor revision on 12th December 2022
Revision requested on 28th January 2023
Accepted on 5th April 2023

The long review period and slightly low efficiency of the editors seem to be common issues in old-fashioned journals like LO JPO. However, it is worth it that the article was eventually accepted.

Based on my own experience, it feels like LO, this journal, "Under review" means it is in the internal review status by the editor. "Pending Recommendation" is when it is sent for external peer review. Then, once the review results are received, it will be in "Pending Decision" status.

It looks like the host's submission entered the review process after half a month, so why is it now that the submission is sent to the editor-in-chief the next day and shows "Under review"?

After I submit, the names of the assigned EIC and ADM will be displayed. "Under review" means that it has been sent for external review, and a one-month review period is typical for this journal. If it exceeds one and a half months or two months, I personally think it is appropriate to send an email to inquire.

Does the status "Under Review" appear immediately after submission? My article has been in the hands of the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) for over a month and it has been in "Under Review" status all this time. I don't know if this is still in the initial review or if it has been sent for review. Is it only after the Associate Editor (AE) is assigned that it is sent for review?

The subject of the article is marine microbial ecology, and perhaps a good reviewer was chosen because it was reviewed in less than three months and provided very constructive opinions. The editor has also been dedicated and diligent throughout. Overall, it is a very responsible and professional journal.

This article was initially drafted in July 2020 and was requested to be revised by the advisor. It went through several versions of revisions and took a year to be submitted. 

It was first submitted to EM on July 30, 2021, but was directly rejected. After making some modifications to the content and structure, it was resubmitted to L&O on September 27, 2021.

It was accepted for review on September 30, 2021. On December 12, 2021, reviewer comments were received, suggesting modifications. 

The revised version was completed on March 1, 2022. On March 27, 2022, the reviewer approved it and the editor-in-chief requested minor revisions before acceptance. 

On March 30, 2022, the article was revised again. On the same date, the associate editor replied and accepted it as the final version.

Hello, I would like to ask how long it takes to receive the first trial comments. It has been 3 months since I submitted, and I haven't heard anything. Can I send an email to inquire with the editorial department?

Top journal of oceanography
Submitted in April 2021, revised in June, revised again in August, revised in October, revised again in November, revised in December, revised again in December, and finally accepted in January 2022. It's really difficult, damn difficult!
