My submission experience with this journal was decent. I submitted in December of 2014 and my revised manuscript (post-major revision) was accepted mid-June. The whole process was slower than I hoped, but I’m still happy with how my article turned out. The reviewers’ comments and suggested revisions were incredible detailed and helpful – particularly with the writing. The editor was actually the one who was a stickler with the language of the manuscript.

The manuscript submitted in early April is currently in its third round of review. It tends to get stuck at the editing stage each time, resulting in numerous queries being sent out.

My reviewer has been back for half a month now, still in the "with editor" status, which makes me want to email the editor directly.

Is the probability of being hired after the major overhaul high?

Did you submit your article for review on the same day as the original poster?

Like the Mar Geo (Zone 3), it seems that this journal has recently been taken over by Chinese people and has lost its original reputation. The outcome of the submission is unknown

The editing hasn't been assigned yet, so naturally it hasn't reached the step of submission for review. The manuscript was already withdrawn yesterday.

Mine is the same, did you send yours for external review?

Previously, it took about 6-7 months from submission to acceptance. However, this time after submitting, it took 10 months to find reviewers and another year to receive feedback. I almost withdrew the submission because it took so long. Recently, the review process has been very slow.

First submission, submitted to the journal on January 19th. It has been 10 days and it's still not with the editor. What's going on?

Hello teacher, may I ask where can I find the submission format? I couldn't find it.

It has been 3 months since submission... I don't know why, but I heard from my teacher that CG can be quick, yet it is still in the "reviewers invited" stage.

(0) Thank | Jimbo

My article with the editor has been almost two months now. The reviewer took two months to provide feedback, and there has been no news from the editor for another two months.

Has anyone recently submitted any manuscripts? My submission to the Journal has been in the "Submitted" status for 20 days now. What is happening with CG recently? I don't know what to do...

Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the research, the editors of Chemical Geology took a long time to find reviewers, thus delaying the publication for one year.

Isotope-oriented manuscript

The journal that required payment in order to be published in Zone 4 rejected the submission. The funny thing is, the editor claimed to have consulted 50 reviewers, and they all recommended rejection. Yes, fifty reviewers.

The manuscript was submitted to this journal on January 25, 2022, and went under review one day later.

On March 8th, major revisions were requested. Two reviewers, one of whom is a well-known expert in the field, provided very professional feedback and raised serious concerns about the analytical methods, suggesting major revisions. The other reviewer disagreed with the conclusions of the article and also recommended major revisions. The editor suggested adding supplementary materials and requested major revisions. Consultation with the lab's professor led to extensive modifications, resulting in a 20-page response.

A revised manuscript was submitted on March 20th and returned on April 20th. Both reviewers and the editor agreed to accept it, but requested modifications regarding language. The manuscript was sent to a language editing company, which took 8 days to complete the proofreading.

A second revised manuscript was submitted on April 30th.

On May 4th, it was accepted.

This is a reputable and well-established journal in Zone 2. The review process was fast, and both reviewers and the editor provided valuable and professional feedback, significantly improving the manuscript during the review process.

It has been 45 days and it is still in the "Editor Assigned" status. Did you forget to update the status? Was the review process fast as you mentioned?
