This journal is very good. It is a sister journal of Geology and has a wide impact in the field of geosciences. Review takes a long time, but the quality of published articles is high. The reviewers are always renowned experts in related fields, and their comments can greatly improve the quality of the paper. The editor is also responsible, but the paper often stays at the status of Under Review for a long time.

How did it turn out for the OP?

(0) Thank | 然鹅

After nearly 5 months of the first trial, a minor repair was made, and a few days later, the interface showing "decision after accepted" appeared. It has been stuck here without any changes. Does anyone know why?

After the editor was assigned, there was a gap, and then another editor was assigned, followed by another gap. It's been over half a month now. Does anyone know what's going on?

Thank you for the comment, may I ask if my status is "decision in process"?
1 major revision, 1 minor revision
I don't know why it shows "decision in process" twice. Currently, I have the status "accepted," but then it immediately started "decision" again. I'm not sure what's going on.
Could you please provide an explanation?

It's just that the online time is too long. I have accepted within 4 months, but I haven't posted online yet! Still waiting!

Yes, recently I received a paper, and after receiving the revision comments, my advisor asked me to change all the colors to gray. The fee for this was quite expensive!

How long does it take for the journal to be sent for review after being assigned to the editor?

(0) Thank | 北油沉积小陈

The first revision was accepted directly, taking 3 months in total. The online time was just a bit long.

I discovered that the pictures in this journal are all in gray. Can we submit colored pictures? Will there be a charge for colored pictures?

(0) Thank | 北油沉积小陈

Alas, I submitted yesterday and received a rejection email from the editor today... They said that my research is too limited to a small range of individual cases, and suggested Lithos... Well, actually, it's quite tactful, the wording is very gentle, not bad... It's just a pity that it wasn't sent for review.

is really too slow, I don’t know if it’s written badly, or re-submitted, it’s almost 6 months.
