The first review has been back to the editor for a month and ten days, and I really can't complain.

Still waiting, I have been waiting for the editor's feedback for a month and ten days, feeling truly powerless to complain.

It's quite disappointing. I submitted it in October last year, received initial feedback from the editor in early February, and final feedback from the experts in early March. It has been over a month now and still in the process of revision. The editor hasn't even looked at it yet. I'm waiting for the results. It's already in the third round of review, and the cost-effectiveness is too low. I really have no strength to comment on it.

Do not submit to this journal, it is really really slow and very bad. I submitted a paper on November 20th last year, and it has been showing assigned editor ever since; finally got an editor but it has been sitting in their hands without being sent for review; finally sent for review and when it came back in March 8th, it was not acted upon until today, May 1st when I received a rejection. Really terrible, wasted so much of my time, and now dropped to tier three.

It has been 15 days since WA and EA, after rework, the edited version can be directly sent to the initial review expert. I don't know why it has been continuously delayed and not processed.

Urged the editor, but EA did not send it for external review, and directly DIP...

I have also changed to EA state, but I haven't submitted it for review yet. It's been several days already. Has your submission been approved, bro?

My turn is also very slow, I have been waiting for 2 months. I don't know what the editor is doing. It's also possible that they are in line.

Some schools assess the distribution by looking at the submissions from this year and last year, and this year's submissions can still be judged based on last year's. However, for those who are in a hurry to graduate, it is advisable to be cautious when submitting to this journal.

Encountered a 2-month dip for the first time, and emails and customer service inquiries were of no use.

11/4/2025 Submission
1/4/2026 Dip
1/17/2026 Major revision
2/2/2026 WE
2/20/2026 RRC
2/22/2026 DIP
4/17/2026 Acceptance

All three reviewers were very efficient, and the review process was quick. However, the editor was hard to please. The 2-month dip was torture.

I have no idea what's going on and I don't want to rush the editor.

Oh, the journal used to be so good before, I don't know why it has been like this in recent years.

The journal submission process is a mess, it keeps getting stuck and endlessly delays. Even had a submission rejected once, the institution keeps entering information repeatedly, it's a total disaster. As of March 30, 2026, the status is still unchanged.

Thank you Jpse for rejecting me. The journal is really not that great, I have submitted over ten papers to this journal and the quality is uneven. They send all kinds of submissions for review, some of which are out of line, and some of the reviewer's comments are out of line. It serves them right to be downgraded.

Recently, the articles have been too focused on petroleum engineering, which has affected the impact factor and Gas Science next door is thriving. With a new editor-in-chief, it is estimated that we will be able to enter the second quartile next year, but traditional petroleum engineering is no longer a top priority.

It's really ridiculous and disgusting.

ACS OMEGA has surprisingly dropped to the second quartile. Geoenergy Science and Engineering has dropped from the second quartile to the third quartile. It's really hard to understand the operation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Yes, after the establishment of the New Joy Zone as a zone of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, JPSE was directly downgraded to the level of the third zone and Scientific Reports, unable to hold on.
