A journal from WILEY. It is much stricter than other journals of IF 2, but the annual publication volume is only 40 or 50, which is considered the best among the best, but the review cycle is too long! It takes more than a year! But this is also a common problem of soil science journals, with few publications, difficult to be accepted, and low impact factors. The PS of TOP-level in this area has only an IF of 3.3. If you want to submit to a journal of high IF, try the comprehensive category! According to the difficulty of acceptance in this journal, the paper must be at least of the level as Frontiers Plant Science with an IF of 4.5!

The review comments came back 6 months after the initial submission, requiring minor revisions. It underwent two conditional acceptances, each with a cycle of one month. Then it became a major revision 1 month later and it was rejected 1 week later. It took a total of one and a half years.

Editing is very diligent and efficient, and the manuscript was only modified 4 times. It is estimated that contributing to this journal may become more difficult over time.

Could anyone tell me where can I check the status of my submission to the journal Soil Use and Management? It's been 10 days since I submitted it, but I still can't find where to see if it has been sent for review by the editor.

The editor is really responsible. It took 10 months from submitting the article in 2021 to June 2022. The first review took one month and required major revisions. Due to personal delays, I didn't submit the revised manuscript until three months later. The second review took one month and required minor revisions. The third review took three months, possibly due to a change in the submission system, and also required minor revisions. I once thought they had forgotten about me. The fourth review was accepted in one day. Each review editor provided their own opinions and suggestions, from referencing to grammar. ADM: Rajendran, Janani, thank you!

The new editor-in-chief, Deyi Hou, and his team are now making USM better and better. The impact factor surged by more than 1 point last year, and it is estimated that it will exceed four this year.

I was moved by this journal. The editors and reviewers were very rigorous and responsible. The review process went through three rounds, and the review speed was particularly fast. Although it took five months from submission to acceptance, three months of that time was due to our own delay in making revisions. I carefully reviewed the submission process: submitted on September 2, 2021 - received the first round of review comments on September 25, 2021; uploaded the revised manuscript for the first round on November 23, 2021 - received the second round of review comments on December 22, 2021; uploaded the revised manuscript for the second round on January 20, 2022 - received the third round of review comments on January 30, 2022; uploaded the revised manuscript for the third round on February 7, 2022 - accepted on February 9, 2022. After careful calculation, the first round took only 23 days, the second round took 30 days, and the third round took 8 days. There were only 2 days from uploading the revised manuscript for the third round to acceptance. The efficiency of the editors and reviewers was very high, and they provided many critical suggestions. After making revisions according to the experts' opinions, I felt that the article had improved significantly. The journal has strict language requirements, and the reviewers also made some language and grammar modifications. I also asked foreign scholars to help with language editing, but during the third round, the editor personally made some meticulous modifications. The editor even identified two instances where the citation dates in the main text did not match the references at the end. I am grateful for the efforts of the editors and reviewers! I am truly touched. I also submitted an article in 2020, and I remember it was also very fast. It should have taken only about three months from submission to acceptance. At that time, I made timely revisions as a student, and the review process was also quick. It was published online quickly.
