This year, the journal was once again moved back to the second quartile. It seems that this well-established sedimentology journal is struggling to stay in the first quartile! The proportion of articles published by domestic scholars has increased in the past two years. Could this have an impact? Now, there is no longer a first quartile journal in the field of sedimentology

Same question, how long will the review status last? Does it mean it is still in the hands of the editor?

Submitted in August, I received a response from the editor after three days. They provided three main suggestions for revisions and advised me to make the changes one by one before resubmitting. By December 6th, the modifications were completed and I submitted the revised version. However, it is still in the review process, and the outcome is unknown.

Submitted in January 2022, received feedback in April, made revisions, and then underwent two rounds of minor revisions. The process of modification was very beneficial to me, and finally accepted in September, taking 8 months.

Has the original poster submitted for review after the in-review stage? What is the current status?

One month after submission, the article was rejected by the associate editor. However, they did provide very helpful professional opinions. This magazine is indeed very professional.

Hello, may I ask if your "in review" status has ended? I am currently in the same status and I am not sure if it is under review.

The journal recommended by the boss has a fast editing and review speed. After submitting the manuscript for the first time, a decision was received more than 40 days later, requesting revisions and resubmission. Before Christmas, the revised manuscript was resubmitted, and on February 27th, the editor received the reviewer's comments. The editor apologized to the author for the delay in response from the reviewer. The revised manuscript was submitted in mid-March, and a week later, an acceptance notice was received.

Sedimentology is a strict and professional journal of sedimentology. The reviewers are also strict and professional. However, the associate editor raised some very unprofessional and narrow-minded questions to me. The review process became enjoyable after citing five papers from the associate editor for reference.

Can I ask if "In review" means that the submission has been sent for review or is it still in the hands of the editor?

Quite a good journal. It should be regarded as the top journal in the field of sedimentology. The review cycle is too long and it requires waiting with patience. The editor-in-chief and reviewers are quite responsible, and I’ve gained a lot from the revision process.

The best journal in the field of sedimentology, but from submission to the final acceptance after three rounds of revisions, took a year and a half, with five reviewers. If you are not in a hurry, you can consider it.
