CGJ, the latest Chinese Academy of Sciences division in 2025, belongs to engineering category 3 and engineering geology subcategory 4. This will definitely make it difficult for them to receive a sufficient number of excellent submissions from mainland China in the future. Moreover, this journal relies heavily on submissions from mainland China, so its situation will only get worse. Therefore, do not dwell on the past of the "big four journals" or "big three journals", look ahead.

Is there any update now? I've been waiting for over a month and still in UR status.

Now the evaluation of papers is also based on the classification of zones. Perhaps more young people are evaluating the Green Fund. It is still important to publish in Zone 1. The three major geotechnical journals you mentioned should be ranked in order of authority: Geotechnique > JGGE > CGJ. However, without publishing in Zone 1, it is not really impactful.

I would like to ask the teachers here, how is the current recognition of the three major traditional geotechnical journals, Geotechnique, Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, and Canadian Geotechnical Journal? I noticed that they are not even considered top journals in terms of ranking, and are even in the 3rd tier.

Compared to top-tier journals such as Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology and Computers and Geotechnics, which one has higher recognition?

From the perspective of finding a job after obtaining a PhD, and applying for grants such as the Young Scientists Fund, General Program, Outstanding Youth Fund, and Postdoctoral Fund in the future, which journals have more impact?

Thank you very much for actively discussing this with us senior colleagues!

Do you want to know if this journal can see specific progress? Several reviewers have reviewed it, while some have not.

May I ask how long it takes for the submission to be reviewed after it is in the "Awaiting Peer Review Coordinator Processing" status?

Hey buddy, how long have you been waiting for your assignment for Canada Rock and Soil Awaiting AE Assignment?

Does "under review" mean it has already been submitted for review? Previously, when submitting to JGGE, there was also an editorial pre-review process.

(0) 讚！ | 留白

May I ask if "under review" means it has been sent for review, or is it possible that it is still undergoing pre-review by the editors? Previously, when JGGE was under review, there was a pre-review by an editor.

How long has everyone been waiting for review? I submitted mine 9 days ago and it's still in the PRC, with no editor assigned yet.

Hey buddy, how long have you been waiting for your submission to be reviewed in PRC? It's been almost a week and they still haven't assigned me an editor.

There were a total of 2 reviewers, both of whom agreed to accept the paper, but the editor decided to reject it directly! What the heck! I waited for so many months, I am truly fed up!
