Hello, I would like to know if after the text editor helps to make revisions, should I directly click on the accept revisions button? Or should I not worry about it? But it also says not to click on the resolve button, what does that mean?

PE&RS is a well-established and authoritative SCI journal in the fields of Earth science, remote sensing, and photogrammetry. It has long-term and stable recognition within the industry and serves as an important academic platform for geographic information science. 

I submitted a paper in the interdisciplinary field of Earth science and remote sensing in May this year, and it was successfully accepted in mid-September. The overall process from submission to acceptance took about 4 months, and the journal's handling pace was efficient and consistent. 

The journal's review process is standardized and transparent, with timely responses from the responsible editor and efficient assignment of reviewers. Both reviewers are senior scholars in the field, and their comments are professional, fair, and constructive. They accurately point out the optimization direction of research details and recognize the academic value and innovation of the paper. There were no unreasonable delays or deliberate difficulties throughout the process. 

The journal focuses on the combination of theoretical innovation and engineering applications, with submission directions closely aligned with themes such as remote sensing interpretation and applications in Earth system science. The journal maintains strict control over the academic standards and scientific rigor of submissions, and the published results combine academic depth with practical application value. 

Overall, the submission experience was positive, with a high level of professionalism from the journal, reliable review process, and moderate efficiency. It is highly suitable for submitting high-quality research results in the fields of Earth science, remote sensing, and photogrammetry.

The final draft was submitted in early May, officially accepted in mid-September, with the entire process taking about 4 months.
Overall, the experience was good: the editors responded in a timely manner, the reviewers were professional and responsible, their comments helped optimize the manuscript; the acceptance process was standardized, with moderate requirements, not deliberately rejecting or pressuring manuscripts, suitable for papers with innovative points and solid data in remote sensing and earth science fields.

Reply "Orange Juice": If the first review status exceeds one and a half months, you can directly contact the editor by email. Sometimes, conflicting review comments may require inviting new reviewers.

Reply "clear7love4396": Currently, the publication format is 9 pages (non-peer review format).

Reply "飞erer": - with editor, under review (major minor, conditional acceptance, final accept reject). "Under review" indicates that the submission has been sent for review.

1. If the first review status exceeds one and a half months, you can directly contact the editor by email. Sometimes, new reviewers may need to be invited due to conflicting review comments.
2. Currently, there is no extra page fee for publications within 9 pages in the publishing format (non-peer review format). However, as PE&RS will also publish print journals, extra printing fees may be charged for excessive page numbers.
3. The main review statuses include: with editor, under review (major minor, conditional acceptance, final accept, reject). "Under review" indicates that the submission has been sent for review.

The journal belongs to the field of photogrammetry, and it has been a well-established journal in this field for around 15 years, alongside ISPRS. After changing the editor-in-chief last year, the journal's efficiency and impact factor have significantly improved. It is foreseeable that there will be good development in the future, so it is advisable to submit early and invest early. Various awards are also evaluated every year. It takes about three months to receive the results after submitting an article, and the reviewers are very rigorous. The editorial process is also relatively timely, so it is worth submitting an article.

I see that you all usually receive the first review result after about one month, why has mine been under review for almost two months now?

Boss, the layout fee is free before exceeding the specified number of pages, how many pages are free? Oh, I didn't pay attention to this journal, but it seems like a good option for non-OA submissions.

Boss, how many types of review statuses are there for this journal? I submitted my paper just one day ago and it already shows "under review."

Yes, the journal is double-blind peer-reviewed, so submitted articles should not contain any information about the authors, including acknowledgments.

Hello, may I ask if the initial draft submitted for the first time cannot include the author and affiliation, but should only include the title, abstract, keywords, and main text?

One of the well-established journals in the field of photogrammetry and remote sensing, many research institutes and production units worldwide have long-term subscriptions to the journal, indicating its position in the industry. The journal changed its editor-in-chief last year, and currently the review speed has greatly improved (see reference below) and the review quality is also high. It is expected that the impact factor will also increase significantly in the next two years. Key time points for reference only:
1. 2025.3.22 submitted
2. 2025.4.26 Major revision
3. 2025.5.15 Resubmitted
4. 2025.5.25 Minor revision

I submitted once in the first half of the year, submitted on February 21st, revised for the first time on March 5th, submitted after a week of revisions, revised again on March 21st, and was accepted in early April. The review process was quite fast and the feedback was also reasonable. Just saw that the Impact Factor might double this year, so I'm going to take advantage of the opportunity.

The journal review process is very fast. Submitted on October 23, received first revision on November 18, and formally accepted on December 24. The response speed of editors and reviewers throughout the entire process is very fast, thumbs up. The journal recently changed its editor-in-chief, and it is expected that the impact factor will rebound. Currently, the cost-effectiveness of submitting manuscripts is very high. Highly recommended!

Submitted on October 23rd, received a major revision notice on November 18th, formally accepted on December 24th, the entire review process was very timely in terms of responses from the editors and reviewers. In addition, it is expected that the impact factor of this journal will bounce back in the future, making it a high cost-effective option for submission now. Highly recommended!

It is still a good journal, the official journal of the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. It used to have a high impact factor and is considered authoritative in the field of remote sensing. Many experts have published in it before. I wonder why its impact factor has dropped to around 1 now. Can someone explain if it is related to indexing?
