Overall, it was very smooth. Two reviewers, one minor revision and the other major revision, and the paper was accepted after the major revision. The reviewer for the major revision was still quite competent, and the points mentioned were quite helpful! Due to the nationality of my corresponding author, a 50% discount was given, totaling $1315, which is not bad!

When it was published 22 years ago, it was still ranked as a second-tier institution by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but by the end of the year, it was directly upgraded to a fourth-tier institution. The unit directly recognized it as a fourth-tier institution and it has been classified as such ever since, which is quite frustrating.

When I submitted to the fourth step, a pop-up warning appeared, it happened several times. Have you encountered this before? If so, how did you solve it?

May I ask how long it will take to obtain the result of external audit after the modification?

Okay, just got accepted today, and the impact factor for this year, 2022, has dropped to 3.5. I'm speechless.

The overall efficiency of the journal is relatively high, and the editors will reply to emails promptly. I work with point clouds and initially submitted to the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observation and Remote Sensing. However, it was rejected by J-star. After making the revisions based on J-star's feedback, I submitted to this journal instead (after all, it has a higher impact factor).

After submission, it stayed with the editor for half a month, then underwent external review for a month. After receiving the revisions, it took me a month to complete them, and after submitting again, it took around 10 days for the reviewers to complete their review. It was directly accepted for publication.

The journal is relatively friendly to beginners and novices. I recommend beginners and novices to submit their work here.

The journal editor is very careful. It takes about a month for the first review with minor revisions. After resubmission, it takes over forty days to be accepted. Overall, it is worth submitting.

Editorial suggestions recommend to submit to other journals, and several journals under their group have been recommended, which seems to allow easy submission. Do you need to submit to them?

To be honest, I feel quite anxious. I will be graduating in the second half of the year. Can any of my fellow brothers who have submitted before share their experiences? How is the average speed?

Published online approximately one week after acceptance, the overall speed is relatively fast, with a submission success rate of 25%.

I also want to ask, how long do I have to wait for the status with the Journal Administrator? It has been one week and it is still in this status.

May I ask, what does the status "With Journal Administrator" mean? How long does it take to start peer review?
