A few days ago, I submitted an article about the formation process of soil aggregates. The editor Rainer Horn rejected the manuscript because it did not meet the scope of the journal. It was recommended to transfer to Geoderma or Geoderma Regional. I don't know if it was because the article quality (language, innovation, or others) did not meet the standards and got rejected, or it really did not meet the scope of the journal...

The first article was submitted to the journal. It was submitted on January 17th and accepted on August 1st. The editors are very good and they put forward a lot of excellent revision comments to the article. The reviewers are also very professional. They accepted the article directly after major revision and minor revisions. I am very happy that the article is accepted by this journal. I expect that I could write more articles soon to submit to this journal.

The journal is the International Soil and Farming Organization (ISTRO) in 1981. Founded by Elsevier, the journal began with a focus on mechanized farming, followed by different land use methods (including farming, fertilization, publishing, and other agronomic measures) on soil physics, chemistry, and biology. The impact of the journal is a good in the field of soil science. Review speed is generally 3-6 months, and the document will be published online within 1-2 months of acceptance. The acceptance rate is about 30%.

It has been two months with the editor, does it mean it won't be submitted for review?

The previous submission was accepted for publication six months ago, but it has been a month now and it is still with the editor. I have not received a response to my email.

Hello, I would like to ask, how is the pace of this journal recently? I am working on remote sensing of soil. I heard that it takes about a year for the first submission to start.

Has your present been under review? How long has it been?

(0) Thank | Noodles

Oh, it's been half a month in the "With Editor" status, but I dare not rush. I really am a humble researcher.

(1) Thank | Soilman

You are very responsible as an editor. Our editor checks the status every two months, but it has been 7 months now. We have invited 16 reviewers, but only one has agreed and returned the review comments. This is really slow.

The latest development is that when another 16 reviewers were invited, none of them agreed to review the manuscript. The editorial office responded by saying: "There are not enough reviewers available and we do not want to further delay the progress of your article." The manuscript was then rejected.

I was wondering where you can see such a detailed invitation process? Thank you. I occasionally track the submission system myself and only find out about date changes, but after a while I forget when it started, what the status time in UR is, and it keeps changing.

Exactly the same as my situation.

You are too smooth, congratulations.

It has been six months already, with only one reviewer's opinion. I don't know if the editor will decide whether to accept based on one reviewer's opinion.

Have you given feedback on this draft? Our draft has been almost half a year already.

(0) Thank | jhhcooi

We submitted our paper on August 3rd, and in a few days it will be six months. Only one has been accepted for review and provided feedback. I don't know how much longer it will be delayed, the editor doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
