Hello, classmate. I would like to ask how many reviewers have been invited to review this journal or how many reviewers have accepted the invitation to review?

NC was advised to transfer to CEE or CE (communications engineering) after being rejected, and ultimately chose CEE.
Submitted on January 1, 2026
Editor assigned on January 5, 2026
Invited reviewers on January 12, 2026 (9-2)
Revisions requested on February 28, 2026

Two reviewers provided feedback, one with just one comment and the other with seven (seemingly major revisions). Currently in the process of making revisions... hoping for a good outcome, and also hoping that CEE will continue to improve!

In a situation similar to yours, NV did not recommend external review and suggested transferring to CEE, which ultimately accepted after two rounds of revisions.

There is still a gap between CEE and NG, with NC in between, which is two levels apart. If the second review of NG can be reached, it means that there are no major issues with the quality and innovation of the research paper, and it should be accepted by CEE.

A very good submission experience, with professional review comments and fast editorial processing speed.

Which one is better, CEE, WR, or EST?

Note: I am not very optimistic about the future direction and quality of CEE. The number of articles published in the past 25 years has exceeded 1000.

NC did not follow the suggestion of external audit and switched to another option. They provided the link but did not guarantee approval. Does anyone know if the chances of approval are high?

The editing suggestion for the second review of NG was rejected, so the recommendation is to apply for CEE directly. The application was successful, showing that the requirements are not very high. Hopefully, there will be another opportunity to try for NG again in the future.

It's hard to say, just took a glance at the number of articles published in this journal this year is about to exceed a thousand. I feel that with more quantity, the quality may be hard to guarantee. It's really uncertain whether the Impact Factor can reach 10 or not.

Will the impact factor of this journal exceed 10 points this year?

The third submission to CEE was successfully accepted. It took four months, with a total of three reviewers - one positive and two negative in the first round. After significant revisions based on two months of experiments, the second round of reviews had no major comments. Finally, after another half a month, it was successfully accepted.

Hello, may I ask if your external audit report has been rejected?

CEE focuses on the integration of earth science, with a slightly greater emphasis on environmental and ecological articles compared to GRL and EPSL. Articles related to geology or geography in these three journals feel fairly similar.

After being rejected by NC, the manuscript was sent to the original three reviewers, and was accepted for publication after three months. All three reviewers are experienced contributors to major journals.

QQ friend, have you been banned yet? I have summarized the timelines of some people and found that those who have been banned by GEE generally have a longer period of time before they can return to UC after making modifications.
