What about the follow-up?

Is this journal now completely open access?

The CBM external audit was rejected and switched to another journal. It seems that the recognition of this journal is related to the profession. I am in the mining industry, and the recognition within the industry feels similar to Chinese EI, such as Coal Science and Technology, and Journal of Mining and Safety Engineering, weaker than Coal Journal, Journal of Rock Mechanics and Engineering, and Mining University Journal.
Timeline for reference:
1. Submitted on December 31st
2. Technical review requested an acknowledgment two days later
3. Approved on January 8th
4. With editor on January 9th
5. Reviewed by 2 people on January 12th
6. Two opinions returned on February 5th, one with 26 points, the other with 51 points
7. Revision on March 4th, revised manuscript 31 pages, response to comments 40 pages
8. Sent back to original reviewers on March 14th
9. Both did not provide further comments on March 16th, probably considering it as an open-access journal and the detailed response did not make it difficult for me
10. Acceptance notification from the editor on March 19th.
The overall timeline was less than three months, which seems fast in this journal. The impact factor this year seems to be breaking 6, and I wonder if it can be upgraded to a higher tier later on.

What are the English names for the journals of Transportation Geotechnics and Engineering Geology & Environment?

It's too slow, it's been six months and we still haven't received any feedback from the first review. Everyone is staying away from it!

The worst journal, no doubt about it, just sending emails to stall, never coming out with any results. It's been almost 2 years since the first review and still no outcome. I have withdrawn my submission, hopefully this kind of journal will close down soon.
For those who don't want to graduate, you can give it a try.

The journal has a slow publication speed and a very high page fee. It is recognized as one of the top journals in the industry (engineering geology, energy). Although it has not entered the top tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Zone 1, the quality of the articles is relatively high, with topics such as transportation geotechnics, engineering geology, and environmental bulletins.

Have you seen the publication, brother?

The article processing fee stated on the official website does not include taxes. Adding the tax, it will be 30,000.

The current APC for Geomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources is £2590.00 GBP / $3890.00 USD / €2990.00 EUR. How come it is not even close to 30000, and what additional fees are included?

Trash journal, took 14 months to accept, with a page fee of 30,000 RMB. I noticed that the latest paper published in the journal was on June 18th, and today is July 2nd. It has been half a month and there is still no new paper online. I guess no one is submitting to this trash journal anymore.

It has been more than a year since submission, and there has been no response from the first review. I have sent reminder emails three times, and each time I received a reply, but there was no actual recommendation. This journal is simply a waste of time. I suggest that everyone should not submit to it, as the editor-in-chief and editors are not responsible at all. I seriously doubt their lack of respect for the contributors!

It has been one year since I submitted my work for review, but I still haven't received any feedback from the first review.

I found an editor for a month and a half, then checked it for a week and sent it for external review. Currently, I have invited 7 people, 5 have accepted, and 2 have completed the review.

This journal is really not worth submitting to, the first review took almost a year, after 2 reminders the editor's response was robotic, just saying they are looking for reviewers.

Hey buddy, how long after you submit the revised draft will you send it for review again? Have you received any results so far?

(0) 讚！ | Dirk_0213

Look, I have been searching for almost three to four months, inviting over a dozen people, and only four agreed to review. So far, I have received one feedback. This journal is as slow as a turtle.

Dear academicians, how long did it take for you to be assigned an editor? I have been looking for an editor for over a month.

I also invited more than ten people at once, five agreed. How many reviewers' opinions did you finally refer to?

I'm not sure, I am one of the four reviewers.

Big shot, were you also one of the two reviewers at that time, one agreeing and one rejecting due to lack of innovation? Did you resubmit the revised paper to the editor who rejected it after major revisions?

It took about 3 to 4 days for the review to enter the technical review.
