Do we have to pay for submissions now, comrades?

Haha, it must be because I always reject him that I was demoted to the second district.

Comrades, it seems that WRR has been downgraded to second-tier in the Chinese Academy of Sciences this year.

Although the result is good, it took 5 months from submission to the first review, and a total of 1 and a half years, which is really slow.

My first submission was rejected, and the editor asked for revisions before resubmission. Starting from February 6, 2025, I am waiting for Editor Assignment. Looking forward to a positive outcome.

I submitted two articles at the same time, one was reviewed quickly while the other one has been delayed for over 20 days without being sent for review.

May I ask, how long will it take to receive news after the modification?

Have you encountered the issue of no response after clicking on "continue" when registering an account? Is it due to browser restrictions on the journal website? If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please let me know. Thank you!

The reviewers of WRR raised very pertinent questions, making me feel that they are very knowledgeable in the research direction of the article. The reviewers of JoH did not seem to raise many good questions. Currently, the rejection rates for both WRR and JoH are about the same. But I prefer WRR. However, now that it is open access, the cost for one paper is $3000, which is nearly 20,000 RMB (which is actually not expensive compared to many other journals that charge $3500 or even $4000). I cannot afford to submit too many papers to WRR, so I will consider submitting more to JoH gradually.

After the second Waiting for Associate Editor Assignment, it shows Waiting for Reviewer Assignment, and then it changes back to Waiting for Associate Editor Assignment. Has anyone encountered a similar situation before?

Bro, did the reviewer who didn't provide feedback during the second review finally give some feedback? Or was the decision made directly by the two editors?

Is this journal now requiring page charges? Is it fully open access now?

The registration of the submission system account cannot proceed, it is stuck on the "continue" button, preventing the next step. Has anyone encountered the same issue? Is it a network problem or something else?

On May 24, 2024, the revised comments were submitted and took 10 days.
On June 14, 2024, ACCEPTED! This round did not go through the review process, the editor made the decision directly

First time submitting to this top-tier magazine, took over 4 months for the first review, very challenging (had to resist evaluation pressure during this time). The reviewers were very professional and asked all the questions I was worried about, personally I feel that these are the abilities and qualities that reviewers (or even editors) of professional top-tier journals must possess. Still very happy that my innovative work has been recognized by peers, completing a collection for the long-standing authoritative journal in this field, AGU (excluding RG
