Hello, I would like to inquire about how to pay the layout fee. I have been stuck at the billing/invoice address section. After clicking on the next step, the page goes blank and I am unable to proceed to the next step.

Is there a timeline from submission to acceptance? How long does it typically take from submission to acceptance?

How much is the layout fee on your side? I spent $1598.06, which is 1200 euros + 276 euros in taxes.

Is your second reviewer still the same as the original reviewer?

It will take me about 20 days to make the revisions, the editor has not taken care of it, not sure what's going on

Does anyone have already submitted or preparing to submit to Open Geosciences?

Hello classmate, I would like to ask you something. I submitted a paper to the journal OG, and it took one month for the first review. There were four reviewers who provided 80 comments. It took about a month to make revisions and submit it back. After another month, the editor and editorial department sent an email saying they just received the final comments from the reviewers. They mentioned minor revisions and asked me to submit the revised manuscript within ten days. However, I only saw comments from reviewer #3 for the revisions this time. I didn't see any comments from the other three reviewers in the email or the submission system. What could be the reason for this? I'm looking forward to your reply.

Hello, may I ask you a question? In the field of geosciences, I submitted to Open Geosciences. It took one month for the first round of review with four reviewers and 80 comments. It took about a month to make revisions and resubmit. After another month, the editor and the editorial office sent an email saying they just received the final comments from the reviewers, requesting minor revisions and asking me to return the revised manuscript within ten days. However, I only saw the revision comments from reviewer #3 this time, and I didn't see the comments from the other three reviewers. They were not in the email or the submission system. What is going on? I look forward to your reply. ?

Hello, I would like to ask if you received the emails from the editor and editorial department regarding our second revision, minor revisions. However, there were only comments from reviewer#3. I can't find any comments from the other three reviewers during the first revision, neither in the email nor in the submission system.

Finally, it was accepted. It took almost a whole year from beginning to end. The main issue was the slow review process. The journal seemed quite reputable, but just too slow, with a relatively low annual publication volume. It was fine as there were no time constraints.

I invested in it for 20 years. I remember it wasn't very difficult, and after submitting it, I received it back for revisions. It seems like the whole process took about half a year.
