Absolutely top-level publication. The editors are demanding and influential. It's hard to get in.

Is there a timeline for this? Will the assistant editor be notified by email for the assignment?

Is it effective to use WR and EST when looking for a job outside?

Can you please clarify if "under review" refers to an internal audit or an external audit? If it is an internal audit, will the status change after the external audit is completed?

(0) Thank | lewin

Does "under review" mean that it has been sent for peer review?

After four months under review, it has finally been revised

What is the current status now?

(0) Thank | phyto-zxw

I just submitted my application and it has been "under review" for 10 days already. Haven't received any updates yet. Does this mean it is under evaluation?

(0) Thank | phyto-zxw

The application was submitted in April, and about 1 week later it showed "under review." There has been no further progress or updates since then

From the submission to acceptance and online publication took 7 months, which seems relatively fast based on the comments from everyone. As a professional journal with high recognition in limnology and oceanography, the reviewers' comments were very professional. These classic journals have low publication rates and high requirements for innovation, which cannot be compared to high-impact environmental journals

May I ask who the deputy editor chosen is?

(1) Thank | 子思

Which deputy editor did you choose?

(1) Thank | 子思

What is the direction of the article? Which deputy editor did you choose?

(1) Thank | 子思

Excuse me, after a few hours of submitting, it changed to "under review," and then after 5 days, the status became "pending recommendation." Does this mean it's not looking good? It feels too soon, perhaps the editorial review did not pass?

The original text, "楼主这个耗时1年，确实够慢的," translates to English as "OP, this took one year, indeed quite slow."

Personal second LO, the overall level of the journal is very high, and the review process is also very strict. The LO's reputation in the field of oceanography needs no introduction, but the review period is indeed too long.

Submitted on 22nd March 2018
Major revision on 12th August 2022
Revision requested on 3rd October 2022
Minor revision on 12th December 2022
Revision requested on 28th January 2023
Accepted on 5th April 2023

The long review period and slightly low efficiency of the editors seem to be common issues in old-fashioned journals like LO JPO. However, it is worth it that the article was eventually accepted.

Based on my own experience, it feels like LO, this journal, "Under review" means it is in the internal review status by the editor. "Pending Recommendation" is when it is sent for external peer review. Then, once the review results are received, it will be in "Pending Decision" status.

(0) Thank | 松岭路北

It looks like the host's submission entered the review process after half a month, so why is it now that the submission is sent to the editor-in-chief the next day and shows "Under review"?
