After the initial submission, the experts gave me a few comments, saying that my research scope was too small, and it was not suitable for the publication of this journal, and it was recommended that I submit elsewhere. This journal focuses on geography issues, methods and algorithms at major scales, as well as articles on remote sensing.

It has been almost three months since submission, and the status is still "Awaiting Reviewer Selection".

Is there no feedback on the second round? The template for the format will be provided with the email, right? I just submitted the revised manuscript today.

It should have been sent for review again, but I didn't pay attention to the specific status. Suddenly, I received an acceptance email, requesting to revise according to their journal format and return within two weeks.

Congratulations!! Accepted!! Will the revised manuscript be sent back to the reviewer after major revisions? Is it just a matter of formatting this time, or are there any other additional comments like minor revisions? I am also waiting.

Can you tell me where to find this format? How long does it take to be hired after returning for rework?

(0) Thank | UESTgiser

The OP would like to ask where to find the format required for adjustment after the journal accepts the submission.

Haha, it was accepted yesterday! Here is the complete timeline:
July 7, 2024 - Submitted to journal
July 24, 2024 - Editor began processing (status changed many times during this time, probably editor was trying hard to find reviewers for me)
February 2025 - Sent email to urge editor, editor had a good attitude, said they couldn't find reviewers and would help me if no news in three weeks
February 28, 2025 - Major revisions
March 11, 2025 - Status changed to inviting reviewers immediately after returning
April 24, 2025 - Accepted
Awaiting Production Checklist
Overall, I have a very good impression of this journal. It is a bit slow but has no other shortcomings. The editor's attitude is particularly good, always responding to emails and calls, and not rejecting submissions due to urging. It is also listed as a second-tier journal in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is quite commendable.

Oh, okay. Thank you, host! Good luck!!! Can I add you as a friend? The publication cycle of yuangoung is really long. Let us know if there is any news on Zhihu.

My review comments did not mention any formatting issues. I feel that the format is not important, as it will definitely be required to be adjusted during the final proofreading. Isn't it common for Chinese journals to adjust the format during the final proofreading?

Do we not need to change the format of the article during the major revision? I don't see the editors or reviewers mentioning anything about formatting and layout.

It seems like there are no templates available. I am still in the process of inviting reviewers, it has been over a month now.

Major Revision

(0) Thank | UESTgiser

It's been over a week since awaiting AE decision, but it seems like the big shots who were accepted into the program were already receiving their revisions on the same day or the next day?

(0) Thank | UESTgiser

I couldn't find the reviewer at that time, so I asked and the editor was very nice and quickly handled it. Now I am waiting for the editor's decision. Wish you good luck.

(0) Thank | UESTgiser

I forgot, but it seems like it was sent for review in about 20 days. I have been looking for reviewers all along, but haven't found a suitable one.

Hello, customer service! How long does the initial review usually take?

(0) Thank | UESTgiser

Submission on July 7th, 2024
Major revision on March 1st, 2025
Upon return on March 13th, 2025, the status immediately changed to Awaiting Reviewer Invitation
I would like to ask all the experts, how long will it take to get a result approximately?

(0) Thank | GLORIALL

So did it take three months for the host to be hired after the major renovation? Did you remind the editor in the meantime?

(0) Thank | GLORIALL

I want to ask the original poster, after major revisions, the status immediately changed to "Awaiting Reviewer Invitation", and it has been more than ten days. Is this a normal phenomenon? How long does it generally take to wait for results after major revisions? Thank you, original poster!

I also asked these two days, the teachers in the editorial department are very nice! The editor said that my status has not changed because I have not been able to find the last reviewer, but as long as the status is updating, there should be no problem. The efficiency of the editorial department teachers is very high. Congratulations on the acceptance of the original post.
