@Floor 49. It would be nice to see the comments on the 49th floor!!! You thought “in the aspect of Geoscience, the professionalism degree and reviewers’ rigor of IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing (TGRS) is not as high as those journals of seismic exploration, such as Geophysics or Geophysical Journal International”. I have just submitted an article to Geophysics, and now the associate editor is inviting the review experts. The impact factor of this journal is 2.793; it was just included in Q2 in 2020. If it won’t be accepted by Geophysics, then I will transfer it to TGRS. According to what you said, it's possible to get good out of misfortune. You think the article on geophysics should be submitted to TG.

Let me share how the recent two papers were going. After whole 1 year and 9 months, one manuscript was accepted at last~~. I was not really satisfied with the associate editor who was in charge of my manuscript. It took more than 2 months even for the manuscript with minor revisions to be accepted. 2018.3.6 submission; 2018.7.8 rejected and resubmit; 2018.11.3 submission after revision; 2019.6.14 major revision; 2019.8.6 submission after revision; 2019.9.18 minor revision; 19.9.28 submission; 2019.11.29 Editor-in-Chief accepted. The timeline of the other manuscript was follows. Since the associate editor changed, the efficiency of review process was significantly faster~~ 2019.7.20 submission; 2019.8.18 major revision; 2019.9.21 submission after revision; 2019.11. 24 acceptance.

TGRS has high requirements for innovation, and the reviewers are of excellent lever. They’re very serious about the technical details and experiments of the article. The review speed was uncertain for it may be fast or slow, depending on the mood of the reviewer and the associate editor. The fastest one was completed for 3 months, and the other one was still under reviewing after 1 year and 2 months. One of the articles: submitted on February 15, 2019; major revision was made on March 29, 2019; submitted on April 12, 2019; accepted on May 15,2019.

TGRS is preferred for more innovative findings. Good for mechanistic articles.

Can you please clarify what it means when the Associate editor has no comments, and how should we respond to this?

2025-01-26 Submit R1

2025-03-12 Submit Appeal letter
2025-03-17 Appeal successful, second Major revision required, only need to address the 10 new comments from Reviewer2
2025-05-26 Submit R2

Overall, the submission process was quite tumultuous, possibly due to lack of experience in submitting to top journals for the first time...

Submitted on May 20
Rejected with suggestions on July 21, suggested to submit to grsl
There were 4 reviewers (the most I have ever encountered in my submission career), 3 gave suggestions for revision, and one had no suggestions, only positive comments.
I don't understand why 4 positive reviews resulted in a rejection with the suggestion to resubmit, I can't comprehend it.

Hello, may I ask how many days the "wait editor for decision" status typically lasts?

(0) Thank | 米糖咖啡

Not hanging out with the big shots, maybe the direction is relatively novel.

(0) Thank | Jusl

Rejecting the manuscript wastes the time of October, as the associate editor decided without considering the feedback, which affects the relationship with the journal.

A reviewer suggested testing it on a UAV, are you willing to pay for it? I strongly refuse, I don't understand how to review it, avoid this journal, it's full of hydrology.

(0) Thank | hweqew

One reviewer requested to test it on a UAV, but I refused forcefully as I didn't understand how to review it.
