Still a small category one area, besides the one from SJTU, it is the only small category one area in marine journals.

Excuse me, how is the speed this year? I was transferred here by OE.

It took 11 months to be accepted for publication. The timeline is as follows: 2024-01-30 Manuscript received; 2024-09-09 Major revision (given 30 days, requested to be revised by 10.9. Extremely slow process, one reminder sent in June); 2024-10-09 Revised manuscript received; 2024-11-28 Revision (Reviewer 1 agreed to publish, Reviewer 2 provided detailed comments, possibly due to holidays, requested revision by 12.30); 2024-12-13 Revised manuscript received; 2024-12-30 Under review (held by editor); 2025-01-09 Accept; 2025-01-12 Proof; 2025-01-13 Published.

Please note that starting from September 1, 2024, the journal transitioned to a fully open access (OA) model with no subscription options. Manuscripts submitted before September 1, 2024, do not require payment, although they will still be published in open access format without any publication fees. Feel free to read and cite my paper at: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apor.2025.104427.

Before January 1, 2025, we are offering free layout fees, it seems? I'm not sure either, but in the end, no payment is required.

Submitted on the same day, July 6th, seeking advice on how to ultimately resolve the issue of open source payments.

The chief editor's efficiency is always very high, but now the main issue is that the reviewers are dragging their feet. Actually, it is understandable because there are just too many things going on. After three rounds of revisions and reviews by three reviewers, it was finally accepted.

How to reduce the publishing fee in the end, I submitted before the 9th tuition deadline, but after making edits and resubmitting, the subscription option was no longer available.

It took 5 months to publish in the first high-level SCI journal. The editors and reviewers were very professional and efficient, and their feedback greatly improved the paper. Managed to catch the last minute for subscription, almost went full open access, lucky. Highly recommended!!!

The final step of submission is only to have the OA option. Personally, I think the OE option is better.

This journal takes a long time, so don't rush. I once waited for a month with the editor!

Submitted on September 28th, still in the waiting list on October 14th, what's going on? Can someone who has won guide me?

Do you mean that this journal can only be accessed through OA now? I checked their official website this morning and it only mentioned support for OA. Also, may I ask which one is better between this journal and OE?

Do we have any brothers who have experience in reviewing manuscripts? How long does the journal usually give reviewers to complete the revisions?

Those who wanted to submit, found that they could only receive OA in the end, so they had to give up. All submissions after 2024.09.02 were OA, with no other options available.

Please revise and return to me within 20 days, I am not sure if it needs major or minor revisions.

Please revise and return to me within 20 days. There is only one revision, but I am not sure if it is a major or minor one.
