Overall, the submission process was quite tumultuous, possibly due to lack of experience in submitting to top journals for the first time...

Submitted on May 20
Rejected with suggestions on July 21, suggested to submit to grsl
There were 4 reviewers (the most I have ever encountered in my submission career), 3 gave suggestions for revision, and one had no suggestions, only positive comments.
I don't understand why 4 positive reviews resulted in a rejection with the suggestion to resubmit, I can't comprehend it.

Hello, may I ask how many days the "wait editor for decision" status typically lasts?

Not hanging out with the big shots, maybe the direction is relatively novel.

Rejecting the manuscript wastes the time of October, as the associate editor decided without considering the feedback, which affects the relationship with the journal.

A reviewer suggested testing it on a UAV, are you willing to pay for it? I strongly refuse, I don't understand how to review it, avoid this journal, it's full of hydrology.

One reviewer requested to test it on a UAV, but I refused forcefully as I didn't understand how to review it.

Oh, mine too. After submitting a piece, it was assigned an editor and a number right away. The old system is undergoing review, and there hasn't been any news since then. It's only been two or three days since I submitted it.

I am not sure about this, but my submission was under review in less than a day.

May I ask how long it takes for a manuscript to be considered as having undergone external review if there has been no rejection?

An ordinary double non-teacher who has just started working as a mentor, the first graduate student, and has not worked with any big names.

Originally, I thought that returning to the Top this year meant things had improved, but it turns out that the Chinese Academy of Sciences has changed the rules, so now all first-tier institutions are considered Top.

With a posting volume close to 3k, a self-citation rate exceeding 30%, is TGRS starting to deteriorate?

Likewise, with your situation being the same, how are you now?

May I ask how many hours after submitting can I see "Undergoing Review" on the original submission website? Does this mean it is being sent for review?

Hello, I would like to ask where I can find the email address to follow up on my submission. I have been unable to find an email address to follow up on my submission for two months now, and there has been no progress. I have been using the email address provided on the journal's official website, but have not received any response.

It's normal, it's okay, it usually takes around 4 months to start.

I submitted two articles, the first one was submitted in mid-March, it has been over three months now and the first review has not yet come back (I have followed up twice in between); the second article was submitted in April, and now it has been almost three months for the first review as well...

The processing time from submitted to approved is quite fast, around three days. A major revision does not require rewriting the cover letter.
