Overall, the process was relatively fast. If revisions are completed promptly, the timeline will be shorter. The paper has also been upgraded to a higher tier. Highly recommended!

First revision on March 2, 2025 (more than 30 comments from three reviewers)
Revised on March 12, 2025
Second revision on March 18, 2025
Acceptance notification on March 24, 2025

It took less than two months from submission to acceptance, which is the fastest among the journals I have submitted to. The reviewers' comments were a bit complex, with less than two-thirds of them providing meaningful improvement suggestions, but they were thorough and responsible. The journal's latest ranking in 2025 has also increased to the second tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with overall high cost-effectiveness. I would recommend it!

I have been waiting for several days, is it normal for peer review to still be in the gray status?

Accidentally discovered this journal, and surprisingly, the reviewing process is quite fast. They provided feedback in just one month, which was quite constructive, and after minor revisions, it was accepted within two weeks.

The review process was quite fast, and the three reviewers provided many important comments. The reviewers' expertise was all very high. After making the necessary revisions based on the reviewers' suggestions, it was accepted for publication.

(0) 讚！ | Good luck

A junior fellow student had submitted to this journal before, originally for graduation purposes, but had a stroke of bad luck and got rejected. Generally speaking, open-access journals are usually faster in terms of publication speed. For example, I have served as an editor for MDPI and Hindawi, and the review process typically takes around 1-3 months, which is acceptable. However, it took a whole 7 months for this journal to accept the submission, with the initial review comments returning after 4 months. This is similar to non-open-access journals. Additionally, they also charge publication fees, which is a bit disappointing. For similar journals in the field of natural hazards that are non-open-access, one can consider submitting to "Natural Hazards". The time is reasonable, and I often review submissions for it, usually taking about half a year. As for open-access journals in the same field, such as "Frontiers in Environmental Science" and "Remote Sensing" where I serve as an editor, the review process takes around 1 month, and the publication fees are similar. Moreover, the editorial teams are willing to offer discounts, and the speed is quite fast. I welcome colleagues in the field of disaster research to exchange and learn from each other. You can contact me via WeChat at "scipersistence". Manuscript submissions are welcome.

Three rounds of review, five reviewers. It took nearly half a year. It is not easy, and the time is long. It is advisable to carefully consider submitting to journals that prioritize short turnaround times.
