Rejected after waiting 5 months for first round review. They only sent it to one reviewer who rejected, but provided comments which I could have easily addressed in a round of revisions.

Have you ever encountered a situation where a senior executive has made a second round of revisions (minor adjustments) and then sent it out for review again?

The official website has already stated that starting from 2022, International Journal of Digital Earth will become a full Open Access journal.

I also encountered this issue when submitting my manuscript, it seems that there is no option to choose non-OA at all. Moreover, I specifically checked the latest issues, it seems that only OA articles were published. This time, I have to pay over 20,000.

Can't we choose non-OA?

The speed is just too fast! The article submitted a few days before the Chinese New Year, and the reviewer's comments were received just ten days after the New Year. This review process is really impressive! Maybe it's because the article is relatively new, so the speed is always fast! For example, an article submitted a few days before the Chinese New Year in 2024 was accepted on May 16, 2025, which is really fast. Unlike some journals that have various relationships, this journal has anonymous peer review, which is very friendly to us who are not well-known in the field and submit blindly.

Is there a submission template available? If convenient, could you please send it to me? Thank you. Also, is it strictly required to have a main text of 8000 characters? My email address is 18813216691@163.com.

May I ask if the first-round review results are directly issued after the peer review of the WJA?

It's fine to use the built-in formulas in Word directly.

(0) Thank | Leap111

When submitting the paper to the journal's official website, I used Mathtype to write the formulas. The editor told me, "Please provide your equations as editable equations and not as images." What should I do?

This journal started accepting submissions in October 2024, one month later the editor-in-chief sent it for review, I can understand that it was Chinese New Year in February, the review process took two months, it came back at the end of February, underwent major revisions for half a month, and has been sitting with the editor-in-chief for almost a month, still not sent for review. I don't know if the editor-in-chief only works once a month, the review speed is as slow as a snail, the editorial department is dragging its feet.

(0) Thank | djkh

It's very slow, it took three months before and after submission, with one minor revision and one major revision from external reviewers. Why was it rejected?

(0) Thank | Lianghj113

It's been over seven months, and finally it's back for repairs, just minor adjustments based on feedback from two reviewers. I have been waiting eagerly and finally my wish is granted, all the flowers that I have been waiting for have withered.

Now that someone has checked the official website and found out the results, could they please clarify if it is District Two or District One?

(0) Thank | 木子田心

I found out in the early morning, but now it seems to have been blocked again. I heard that some big shots were not satisfied, hopefully it's the big shot of this publication. In the past, there have been cases of publications being demoted after being withdrawn from certain areas and then being promoted back.

The impact factor increased by 0.7, but the results dropped? It's ridiculous.

(0) Thank | Jayce~

Who said it has been downgraded? Where did you see that? Can't we still check it now that the system has just been uploaded?

(0) Thank | 木子田心

Oh no, I just got the results and they said I've been downgraded.

(0) Thank | zz

Wow, it's a disaster in 2025, and I haven't even graduated. It feels like the sky is falling.
