Submitted on November 24, 2020, and was rejected on January 4, 2021. During the 40 days, it had always been with editor. However, the opinion for rejection was: "Your theme and content will not arouse the interest of readers of our journal." My God! It had been delayed for 40 days by the editor. If it does not fit your journal, will it need to take you 40 days to read the title, abstract or cover letter? I sent an email politely asking about the progress in a month. The editor replied: The editor has a lot of teaching work! As a professional journal, I cannot agree with this in particular. If the reviewer delayed the review with teaching work, I can understand, after all, they basically review for free. But the editor is paid for his work, how can he be so perfunctory? It was said to be slow according to the netizens, which is definitely right. Those who are anxious to graduate, please submit carefully!

The one downstairs, had your manuscript been reviewed for 12 months? For such a long time, I dare not to submit.

A top journal in the field of ecological economy. But it is only listed the second category journal. It is even classified as the category of economics. Come on! One paper to be published is enough!!

Disgusting journal, after reviewing in January, they dragged it out until the end of April to reject it. Isn't other people's time valuable? I suggest not submitting to them! This year it's also not a top journal in the field, serves them right.

The review was already completed on January 19, 2025, and the status changed to Required Reviews Complete. It is now March 5th and the status is still the same. I am getting anxious, should I send an email to follow up on this situation?

After more than two months, the external review has finally been sent out. The review process is very efficient, with nine reviewers selected and seven manuscripts received in one day

I don't need it. I am currently in the external review stage and have not yet received feedback from the reviewers. No need for initial review

Can you contact the editor? It feels like all consultations have been outsourced

2022.1--Initial Date Submitted
2022.6--Completed - Reject

The first review took five months, and the reason for rejection was that it did not align with the journal's theme. This is completely different from the five-week review period officially announced by Elsevier! If it doesn't match, couldn't the editor have taken a look to avoid dragging it out for so long?

Already hired, sharing my submission experience with fellow classmates. Submitted in October 2020, took about half a month for editor's review, received major revision decision after six months under review, given two months for revisions. However, due to being busy with other matters, completed the revisions after four months and remained under review for another two months before being accepted. Overall, the reviewers were very professional and their suggested revisions greatly improved the quality of the article. The review process was neither fast nor slow, but moderate. As a reputable journal in ecological economics, I am very pleased to have my article published in it. I hope this information is helpful to everyone and fingers crossed for future submissions to prestigious journals like Nature, haha!

This magazine is quite good in our field. We submitted a manuscript for review over a month ago, but unfortunately, the result was tragic. They provided suggestions, but we actually thought it was possible to make modifications. However, we were not given the opportunity to do so. It feels like the requirements for innovation in terms of the article's methodology and theme are quite high. We will continue to submit in the future if given the chance! With determination, success can be achieved. Good luck to all my brothers.
