Reply to the 56th floor, I used the sodium chloride brine. Editors meant that I should use actual seawater. Of course, there was too little work in part of the experimental verification.

You didn’t use sea water for experiments, so what experimental materials did you use? @Xiaoshuai123

The speed was very fast, it was rejected on the next morning soon after submission. The editor said a lot. However, he thought experiment part was too little, and the experiment was not done with sea water.

After submitting to Desalination, my manuscript was returned based on writing issues.  I had one of my colleagues polish up the language, and then I resubmitted a few months later. I received a revised opinion in February, and the editor’s evaluation of the article was not high. He was quite frank; he stated that my article had no meaningful results and that it was just a summary of previous work.

Does anyone know how long it takes to receive a response after submitting a revised manuscript? It has been two weeks since the revised manuscript was sent back for review, and it has been in the "under review" status since then. The reviewer has received the revisions but has not provided any feedback yet.

Desalination is undoubtedly a top journal in the field of desalination. Although it has been downgraded to the second tier in the Chinese Academy of Sciences classification, it is still considered a first-tier journal in the field of water resources (although it has been pushed to the bottom of the first-tier subcategory, which is very dangerous). The quality of papers published in this journal is guaranteed and widely recognized in the field.

However, those familiar with the current Chinese Academy of Sciences classification system know that some domestic journals with only a few dozen publications per year have been pushed to the forefront of the first tier, making it increasingly difficult to publish in top-tier journals in the future. In fact, using the strategy of publishing fewer papers to boost impact factors is not sustainable, as it will eventually lead to a decrease in submissions and a negative reputation. Achieving a high impact factor through such means does not necessarily reflect the quality of the research.

It has been 40 days since submission, still no response, and it has been downgraded to Tier 2.

I have been waiting for over a month for the major revision of my paper, and still have not received any news. Can anyone who has experienced a similar situation explain what is going on? How much longer do I have to wait? It is taking longer than the initial review process.

Excuse me, how can I check the number of reviewers?

(0) Thank | KKKKKYYYY0000

I want to ask where I can find information about how many reviewers have been invited. I couldn't find it on the official account.

It seems like the end of the month is on vacation now. I haven't received any updates on my suggestion.

Does anyone know why the editor assigned a reviewer, but it has been almost 50 days and the manuscript has not been reviewed yet? Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

(0) Thank | sqc

I have been back for almost a month after the first round of revisions, and there has been no change in my status so far. What should we do now? Have you sent an email to the editor?

It's been almost a month since I submitted my return with the editor, and there's still no response. Why is it taking so long?
