May I ask how long after the deadline does the chief editor accept submissions? I have also been following up on my submission without any success.

Excuse me, OP, my current submission status is final response (author comments only). Do I need to respond to the public comments first now? And then wait for the editor's decision.

The journal's reputation is okay, but the speed is too slow, the process is complicated, and at least two reviewers are needed. The whole process takes one year and three months, which is not easy.

2024-07-18 Submission
2025-06-11 Major revision (after finally finding two reviewers, one suggested rejection in September 2024, and one suggested major revision in April 2025, the editor finally suggested major revision on June 11, 2025, probably feeling it was not easy either)
2025-07-20 Revision (carefully revised and supplemented with a lot of content, in addition to the reviewers, three named commentators' opinions also need to be replied to and modified)
2025-08-11 Direct acceptance, editor's decision (only one anonymous reviewer is needed, quickly found, did not provide any comments, very lucky, thank you)
2025-09-21 Formal acceptance, executive editor (after sending a reminder letter)
2025-09-25 Acceptance
2025-09-26 Proofreading, image processing, formatting, etc.
2025-10-30 Online publication

I have also been submitting for a month (8.12-9.11), and I received an email saying they couldn't find an editor. Now it will be handled by the managing editor. I'm wondering how long it will take for the managing editor to follow up.

I'm in the same situation, I have been submitting for over a month, calling the editor, and then one editor exceeded the limit. Now I am back to the executive editor, but there is no progress.

I am also, OP, how are you doing now? I have been submitting for a month, calling so many editors, but so far it shows that there are no editors available. Can any experienced person who has submitted before tell me what progress can be expected next?

Could you please tell me if the status "Status: File validation (EGUsphere) | Iteration: Initial submission" means that the submission was successful? Thank you very much!

What's the situation with this journal? Submitted on 06 Mar 2025, uploaded files validated on 10 Mar 2025, editor called first choice on 10 Mar 2025, editor called all editors on 14 Mar 2025, no editor available waiting for executive editor response on 18 Mar 2025. It's been almost a month and still no editor handling it, are they on vacation?

Hello, may I ask what is technical correction?

I would like to ask what does "minor revision" mean? Do we need to submit it for external review after making minor changes? Or is this the external review opinion itself?

2019.4 submission; 2019.5 public discussion; 2019.10 major revision; 2020.1 minor revision; 2020.3 major revision (English was not authentic, grammar need be revised) 2020.4 final accepted. It was not easy to be accepted by the journal. It took a whole year. The editor was nice and helped me correct a lot of grammatical errors, but the requirements were very strict and he was careful. In general, you can be replied in time when you send an email to inquire about the manuscript. My English was poor and it took 3 more months.

After submission and three technical corrections in half a month, it entered the two-month Open discuss stage. During the discussion stage, two external review experts’ opinions were received, and two and a half months after the major revisions, I was notified of acceptance and minor revision. Overall, academic editors and journal administrative editors are enthusiastic and responsible. The review process is strict. The number of publications in a year is less than 300. It is hosted by the European Geographical Society and the journal is located in Germany.

In January 2013, the select was made in March, and it was published in NHESSD.At this stage, you will be charged 360 Euros.Waiting for comments on the Internet for a long time.(To comment at least two people) I finally waited for two comments until around October.The online comment ends and the author responds.After the reply, they will consider whether to accept it.Fortunately our article was received and the final email confirmation was in early November.It took a total of 10 months.

I submitted the article in November and it was accepted a year later. My article was delayed due to the editor's negligence.
