I'm back again, and this time I finally succeeded. I submitted in September, received major revisions in early November, returned in two months, made minor revisions for over a month, and finally accepted on the third day of the Lunar New Year. The proofreading was done online just two days later!

Although facing a "strict" reviewer, the editor-in-chief has the final decision. Additionally, the British editor handling the manuscript has high language requirements

Submission history:
Submitted on November 22, 2022, and sent for review on the same day.
First review returned on February 14, 2023 (major and minor revisions), editor requested major revisions.
Returned for revision on March 6, 2023, waited for a week at the editorial office, sent a letter to urge submission, and submitted for review on March 14.

Accepted on April 16, 2023, at 8 o'clock in the morning.
Overall evaluation: The editor's efficiency is extremely high. Palaeo's characteristics may be more focused on papers with relatively mature data and understanding, and they generally accept them. Innovation may not be the most important factor. For reference only.

Is this edit targeting me? It's really strange.

I waited in this status for a week, then followed up, and it was sent for review the next day. It's probably an issue with the editor.

What's the news? It's been two months already. I've sent four emails to the editorial department, but the assigned editor has published the revised manuscripts submitted after mine. They haven't dealt with mine yet. Sob.

Hasn't it been dealt with for a month? Is there a result now?

"Submitted two months ago, after the first revision, I resubmitted to the journal on the third day of the Lunar New Year. It has been in the 'Revision Submitted to Journal' status for a month. Has anyone else experienced this situation?"

The review process is fast, and the editors are very efficient.

May I ask how fast is the editing process? How long does the review process usually take?

(0) 讚！ | 啸聚山林

The efficiency is indeed quite fast. In total, it has been edited 3 times, each time taking about 24-5 days.

The characteristic of this magazine is that it particularly focuses on the highlights of the articles. If the article has a novel concept or breakthrough content, even if it is slightly lacking, it will be given the opportunity to gradually improve.

San Gu is also considered a traditional and well-established journal, with high recognition in the industry. The manuscript was submitted on April 29th, and it took about until May 20th for it to be sent for review. The external review comments were received on July 5th, requiring two major revisions. The revised manuscript was submitted on August 20th, but then there was another delay of about a month at the editor's office. Around September 15th, it was sent for review again. The second review comments were received on October 12th, requiring minor revisions. The revised manuscript was submitted on October 28th for the second round of review. On November 9th, it was accepted, and it was published online on the 15th. Overall, it was a relatively smooth submission process. The reviewers' comments were professional and detailed, providing significant help to improve the paper. However, the Chief Editor's speed was slightly slow.

The article you have been longing for, was rejected within seconds with the reason: The quality of the paper does not meet the review standards. *Sigh* My confidence has been shattered...

The first SCI paper was quite tumultuous, hoping the second one goes smoothly.

Posted on December 4, 2020, it was under review on the same day. It completed the external review on January 8, 2021 (with revisions in China) and was revised on February 11. The next day, on February 12, it was accepted. I received the good news of its acceptance on the first day of the Chinese New Year, which happened to be my fourth SCI paper as the first author. I'm happy!

It is a very good journal, the editor-in-chief Thomas J. Algeo was a serious and responsible person who raised a lot of comments to improve the quality of the article. It took two months from submission to acceptance. The review speed was beyond imagination. There was feedback almost within a few hours after submission. Thank you again, Professor Thomas J. Algeo!

Palaeo is an old-fashioned journal that everyone knows, but I don’t know why it’s been dropped in the 3rd district. Very efficient, though

This is an old-fashioned journal. There should be one for geography. The first time I selectd for an international article, I chose Sangu, which is great.The manuscript returned a little more than 2 months, and the mid-repair, online after 4 months of revision, was fast, but it was the distribution of the volume, period and page number, and waited for a long time.Overall, this journal is great, as long as your article is good, reviewers and editors will give you the opportunity to change.
