One of the NI journals is quite good. My research direction may have fewer peers and it is not easy to find reviewers, but my editor is super conscientious and strictly follows the requirements to find reviewers. The reviewers' suggestions are mostly very useful (a few may not really understand because they are not peers). 

End of February: Submission
End of May: Rejection and resubmission
Early August: Resubmission
Early October: Second review comments returned
End of October: Response to comments returned
End of December: Acceptance

The speed of finding reviewers is very fast. Basically, three reviewers can be found within half an hour of submission. The review is professional and rigorous, but unfortunately, the impact factor is indeed a bit low.

It's been 15 days and there's still no progress, it's so slow... The sooner I die, the sooner I can be reborn.

Why is the editing taking so long? It's already the eighth day and the editing hasn't reached the editor yet.

Nature Index Journals, top publications in the field of atmospheric science, are considered as one zone by many institutions. The classification by the Chinese Academy of Sciences is simply outrageous.

Isn't this journal mainly about the workload?

(0) 讚！ | MACHDATA

Haha, as is well known, the standard for judging journals is the number of papers published by users "who are you" in the journal.

It took 74 days from submission to the end of the first round of under review.

Haha, bro, what you said is not correct. It should be more recognized than nature and science. A low impact factor means low attention and no citations, how can it be more recognized? Scoring 90 points on an exam may not make you a top student, but failing definitely does not mean you are better than someone who scored 90 points.

Good journal, has helped countless students graduate, with a very good reputation. Compared to many other high-impact factor journals, it does not require high levels of innovation and as long as the workload is sufficient, papers can be published. I tried submitting a paper with a score of 7 to a top journal in the first district for over a year without success, so my boss suggested splitting it into two papers and submitting to JGR-Atmospheres. The papers were successfully accepted and I was able to graduate. Thank you, thank you.

Can any brother who has been hired explain the status in the system is "Manuscript Sent to Production"? Does this mean it still needs to be proofread?

This work was polished for four months based on previous research before yielding results, and it took two months to write. Overall, being published in JGR-A as an NI journal is the best endorsement. When it comes to representing one's work, it is important to strive for publication in high reputation journals in the field. The reviewers assigned to this work were my peers, who were well-versed in the methodology details and provided very targeted suggestions for revisions. The revised results were more in line with reality and had a stronger rigor.

First submission to JGR: Atmospheres, the review process feels more rigorous than Elsevier's journals, but also slower. It took a total of 7 months from submission to acceptance, with two rounds of revisions in between. The reviewers were overall very professional, feeling like colleagues who were familiar with the research content. The assigned AE was excellent, with a quick handling speed and making decisions not solely based on reviewer opinions, but also providing their own insights

First submission to JGR-A, accepted after one major revision. The specific timeline is as follows:
Preliminary Manuscript Data Submitted 2023-03-23
Under Review 2023-04-04
Waiting for Revision 2023-05-22
Revision Received 2023-06-16
Under Review 2023-08-01 (Difficult to find reviewers during the summer, as they are all traveling)
Decision Made; Manuscript Ready for Production 2023-09-09 10:43:58

Overall, the review and editing process at JGR-A is strict in quality control. The comments from the three reviewers were constructive and greatly helped in improving the manuscript. Being accepted in JGR-A in the field of atmospheric chemistry makes me even happier than getting into ES&T. Although the Impact Factor is not high, the influence of this journal in the United States is still significant. I hope the journal continues to improve. The only complaint is that the review and editing process was indeed slow during the summer, so fellow researchers in a hurry to publish papers for graduation should be cautious when submitting, as AGU journals are slower compared to those under Elsevier and ACS

There are a total of 3 reviewers, with three rounds of revisions. In the first round, there were major revisions (two major and one minor). In the second round, there were minor revisions (one major, one minor, and one acceptance). In the third round, there were minor revisions (one minor and two acceptances). The paper was accepted and published after a total of 10 months. The review process for JGR-A is quite rigorous, with in-depth and meticulous questions raised, which indeed improved the quality of the paper. By responding well to the reviewers' comments, the paper will eventually be successfully published. Previously, I mainly published papers in JGR-B. This is the first time I have published a paper in JGR-A, and I feel very good about it. I will continue to publish papers in it in the future.

Brother, you said "shedding skin" so vividly. I totally agree. Has this journal been published in Zone 1? I really can't believe the antics of the Document Information Center. How did they manage to turn some "low-quality journals" into top-tier and Zone 1? I'm speechless.

There are three reviewers, one of whom is very strict. After three rounds of review, they still rejected it.

Agreed, there were four rounds of review, and the replies were longer than the article in the first two rounds. In the end, the article increased from 6000 to 8000 characters. The reviewers were all highly skilled and their opinions were very objective. Although the criticism was sharp and almost made me give up, I honestly replied to all the questions and the quality of the article improved significantly.

Highly acclaimed journals within the field are more recognized than ordinary Tier 1 journals (please take a seat). My personal representative works have been published in JGR-A, and it always feels like a struggle to submit each time. Unfortunately, the impact factor is too low, which has diminished my desire to submit any papers for the past two years.
