Submitted in October 2024, accepted in April 2025, the comments provided by the two reviewers were particularly professional. The first reviewer gave four rounds of feedback, while the second reviewer gave three rounds. Some changes were difficult to make, but having a sincere attitude is the key to success.

Overall, the review process is quite strict. There are a total of three reviewers, who collectively provided more than 20 suggestions, some of which are difficult to modify or even impossible to change. The manuscript went through approximately three rounds of revisions with each reviewer, with reviewer 1 taking longer and requiring four rounds of revisions. The efficiency of this journal's review process is quite high, possibly due to luck in finding willing reviewers.

Hello, currently my manuscript is in a similar situation. One reviewer has agreed to publish it after two revisions, but the other reviewer has been disqualified and the editor has been changed. May I ask how you handled this situation?

The energy and environment paper I submitted seems to be good, so I found another reviewer, made some minor revisions, and resubmitted it.

Accepted in 48 days, with a lineup of all undergraduate students. The paper was written in sophomore year and accepted in junior year.

Submitted on September 18th, received by the editor on September 19th, external review on the same day. Around October 10th, the process of external review and revisions began, with four reviewers - 2 major revisions and 2 minor revisions. A reviewer sent the paper back for revisions and within 15 minutes of resubmission, they agreed to accept it, which was quite strange. Another reviewer had their qualification revoked by the editor for not responding to revisions for half a day. Accepted on November 5th, while still attending professional classes in the afternoon.

The publication fee was 22,000 RMB, luckily divided among several authors. Overall, getting published in this journal wasn't too difficult, but not easy either. The impact factor has been declining over the past two years, but unexpectedly this year, it is predicted to be at least 4 and could even reach 5 next year. The citation scores on Scopus are now at 6.7, compared to around 4 in previous years. However, it is still advised not to submit to open access journals if possible. Publishing one paper with MDPI or Frontiers is enough, submitting too many is just a joke. Despite their explanations online, the fact that these two journals are of low quality cannot be washed away, especially when undergraduate students can get published in them.

11.26 reactivated the review of Reviewer 3
11.28 reactivated the review of Reviewer 2
Both reviewers agreed to publish, but subsequently had their reviewing qualifications revoked. It feels like the paper is going to be rejected. I wrote a letter to the editor asking why the reviewing qualifications of both reviewers were revoked.

Hello teacher, may I ask if there are any recommended editors for the interdisciplinary climate research section? I have been submitting for over a week and have not been assigned an editor yet. Should I continue to wait, as I have seen some wait for several months without finding a handling editor.

Submitted on July 10th, but still have not been assigned an editor for the interdisciplinary climate research section. How long does it usually take to be assigned an editor?

The same thing happened to me, with a reviewer making major revisions that delayed me for over two months, finally backing out in the last couple of days. It's been very frustrating

Why did the reviewer withdraw in the middle of the review process, and my second reviewer also disappeared after the first revision? The third reviewer is also mostly unresponsive. It has been almost 4 months since the first submission

My head hurts, waiting for the submission,
We are currently in the interactive review phase, with two external reviewers rejecting the submission, one reviewer suggesting minor revisions, but after I made the revisions, the submission was rejected again. Now, we are waiting for the opinion of the fourth reviewer. Do I still have a chance?
