So whether or not to send it for external review, the status is still UR.

What's the point of arguing about this, everyone just has different opinions. If the goal is to find a job and be evaluated at domestic universities, then it is definitely worth investing in Acta. However, for those who want their work to be more recognized and increase international influence, they would definitely not choose Acta and instead opt for Goet and JGGE.

Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard, reading your comments is like watching a cool drama about cultivating immortality. Everyone is praising jgge, and then acta pretends to be a pig to eat a tiger, his influence skyrockets, and he firmly steps on jgge's head. The end of the story!

Ask if you don't understand, which are the four major publications, and who decides the first and second place.

The question about these four major publications is not whether they are good or not, but rather whether they are good enough. If they are good enough, it is undoubtedly a affirmation of one's own work.

Actually, the earliest mention was of the 4 major journals, as well as Japanese SF. However, later on, the impact factor and classification of this journal both declined, and now it is said to be the 3 major journals. G and JGGE are definitely the most recognized in the field of geotechnical engineering worldwide, while CGJ is slightly inferior to these two. However, personally, I believe it should be ranked above CG. If you want to consider industry recognition, you can refer to the grading of engineering geology journals organized by the China Association for Science and the Rock Mechanics and Engineering Society in 2022, which is more objective and representative. But when it comes to finding a job, the classification by the Chinese Academy of Sciences is more important, so it cannot be ignored. These are my personal opinions, and I welcome discussions from colleagues.

I would like to ask the teachers here, what is the current level of recognition for the traditional top three geotechnical journals, Geotechnique, Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, and Canadian Geotechnical Journal? From what I see, they are not even top-tier journals in terms of impact factor, and are even placed in the third 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, as well as applying for funding such as the Youth Fund, General Fund, Outstanding Youth Fund, and Postdoctoral Fund in the future.

I am very grateful for any discussion on this topic.

After receiving the acceptance notification email for the paper, how long does it usually take to enter the proof stage? In my case, I received the acceptance notification email at the end of September, but have not received the proof notification by November.

Friend, has the time changed after "ur"? I have also used "ur" on the same day and the time has not changed, so will the time change during the external audit? x

Could I ask if there has been any change in your status during the UR period? I submitted on the same day as you and it has been a month and a half, but the date is still the same.

Submitted at the end of September in 23 years
Received the first round of review comments at the end of December, replied at the end of February
Received the second round of review comments at the end of April, but the feedback was incorrect (one reviewer mistakenly sent me comments from a different article)
Replied to the second round of review comments at the end of May
Accepted in mid-August
It took nearly a year, the review speed of yysy is really slow, so if you are in a hurry to publish, don't touch it. The feedback given was very helpful, and I heard that this journal has a high reputation. The requirements from the editor were quite strict, and I had to revise the article about 7 or 8 times. Fortunately, perseverance paid off, and it did not affect my application for further studies.

Does CG Acta also deserve to touch porcelain with JGGE? Every year, JGGE publishes several masterpieces, which are also the journals that those who follow the hot topics can get involved with?

Although JGGE has a low impact factor, it is a highly authoritative journal in geotechnical engineering with very high recognition. Acta geo and C&G have average quality and level, and are not in the same league as JGGE.

There is no doubt that the research content of JGGE and JGRES on soil mechanics and debris flow is exceptional, top-notch, and of higher quality than top-tier journals in the field.

May I ask how many days after your UR status did you receive an offer?

The impact factor is still relevant. The number of publications by C&G should also be commensurate with the quality of JGGE

The person upstairs is really capable, what is ACTA. Does Geotechnical Engineering still look at impact factors? Are the three major Geotechnical Engineering journals controversial? If they don't care about impact factors, then they are worthless

This journal used to be in the third district of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but now it is in the second district of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Its impact factor (3.9) is also higher than many geotechnical journals, so where is the second geotechnical journal? In terms of soil mechanics, Geotechnique, Computers and Geotechnics, and Acta Geotechnica are already stronger than this ASCE's JGGE. However, the peer review of this journal is indeed strict. The editor-in-chief has been met a few times, and the reviewers they find are all very critical and very serious. If you want to improve the quality of your article, you can try the reviewers of this journal

One of the top three geotechnical engineering journals, the quality of the papers is very high, but the speed is unbelievably slow. The cycle of one to two years is simply frustrating.
