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?

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

Did the editor encourage you to resubmit or was it your own decision?

Returned for revisions on 2023-05-12,
Second review took another three months until 2023-08-22, with one reviewer delaying feedback, leaving the editor waiting.
Returned on 2023-10-18, currently waiting for the third review

My research focus is on surface and groundwater hydrological modeling. From the perspective of colleagues and peers around me, WRR is the most authoritative and highly recognized top journal in the field of hydrology, water resources, and groundwater. It is comparable to EST in environmental sciences, JACS in chemistry, and GRL in geology, ranking much higher than HESS, JOH, and Catena within the same field. WRR places a high emphasis on the novelty of the research and its contribution to the discipline. If a paper lacks sufficient innovation or transformative ideas that can advance the field, it may not even be sent out for review. It is not like HESS or JOH where outstanding data and experiments alone can lead to publication.
In short, publishing in WRR can help establish a solid reputation within the scientific community. Ph.D. candidates and postdoctoral researchers who publish in WRR can greatly improve their chances of securing a good teaching position

I am conducting experimental research on the sediment movement dynamics of reservoirs, and it has been quite challenging for the editor of this top hydrological journal. "Waiting for Reviewer Assignment" occurred 11 times, "Contacting Potential Reviewers" occurred 9 times, and "Under Review" occurred 4 times. Four months later, the editor mentioned that after many requests for reviews, they were able to obtain two high-quality reviews.

After making minor and major revisions, I submitted the manuscript to journals such as JHE and JHR. However, the editor rejected it, stating, "Given the difficulty with identifying reviewers and the nature of the work described in the paper, it may be best to submit a manuscript that focuses more on hydraulics." Although the reviewers were not experts in my field, they still provided significant help. One helped me improve my English, while the other's misunderstanding of my work made me reflect on my writing and prompted me to make it clearer and more precise.

Both the editor and reviewers were very diligent, but for those who are eager to graduate or specialize in dynamics, I would advise caution when submitting.

I wrote an article about meteorology and agricultural drought, which I believe has some innovation. However, the editor rejected it, stating that it does not fit within the scope of WRR. I feel a bit frustrated.

The review speed of the journal is relatively fixed. If there is an external review, the average time to receive the review comments for the first time is about 3 months. 
This article took almost 1 year from start to finish. Below, I will mainly talk about my submission process and experience: 
I submitted the first version in December 2021, and then received the first round of review comments in March. After being rejected, I resubmitted, but the suggestions from the three reviewers were very helpful. They basically helped me revise the article thoroughly. After 4 months of revision, I resubmitted in July. In October, I received the second round of review comments. One of the experts in the second review was the same as before, while the other two were new. The final result was two minor revisions and one moderate revision. The editor ultimately requested a minor revision, and the changes were not too many, mainly addressing the questions raised by the three reviewers. I resubmitted in November, and the editor responded quickly, giving the acceptance decision within two days. 
Overall, this submission brought me great gains. The suggestions and questions from the reviewers of WRR had a significant impact, especially for someone like me who is not good at writing articles.
