JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

I originally submitted my manuscript to The Science of the Total Environment, and the preliminary review said that the research direction of the article was not appropriate, recommending I try JEM. My experience with JEM was disappointing, as my manuscript was rejected after a half year of review and revision. The editor had found a new reviewer for my revised manuscript rather than sending it to the previous reviewer. The new reviewer recommended more revision and the editor decided to reject the manuscript. It was an unusual submission experience, and the first time I’ve encountered this situation. In general, the review cycle of this journal is slow, and the review process is also quite rigorous.

The article was submitted last May and experienced two major changes in the middle.The last time I submitted it to the editor was in December last year. The third trial was too long. It was about to collapse. Two emails have been sent to remind editors. The editors responded every time. The article is being reviewed by the reviewer.Crash crashHave friends who have the same experience?In this case, should I boldly talk to the editor about the retraction, but I can't bear it, after all, I have already made the second revision.Hey~

However, the review speed was a bit slow, and the reviewers were changed twice in the middle, but the final result was quite good, and it was directly acceptd after the minor repair.

17 yearsThe manuscript was submitted in mid-November, and the notice received after the revision was received on January 24.On January 30th, the revised manuscript was submitted. With the editor for more than a week, the status changed to under review. After one month, it became required reviews complated to indicate that the minimum opinion has been received. If enough comments are received, the result will be obtained.On March 9, it was under reivew (indicating a reviewer's opinion conflict).
  The two reviewers in the first instance made a lot of comments. It may be that the two reviewers in the second instance disagreed..It feels like a tragedy..Time is tight, this journal is still not thinking about it...Really unhappy.

The content of the paper is to explore the characteristic pollutants and source analysis. After the submission, the review period is longer, but the experts look very detailed, even the grammar and punctuation have been changed, and the two small repairs are directly accepted.

with editor about 12 daysAfter that, three reviewers were invited.The two reviewers are basically making up the number...The first reviewer felt that the article was valuable and looked very carefully and gave a lot of comments;The second reviewer's opinion is: I think the article is good, but it is not suitable for publication in this journal.Then there is nothing wrong with it... Isn't this work edited?The third reviewer: I asked two questions that were completely irrelevant.Then rejected...

editing level is super bad, not at all with the journal level on a level.No comments in the first trial, reviewer recommended, let's modify the format.As a result, the second trial refused to return, and the reason given was completely irrelevant to our paper.It is not recommended to select for this journal, hehe.

The first SCI, after the submitment, the technical review was returned and revised once, and it was delayed for more than a week. Then the review was overhauled and repaired once, and it took about 5 months to receive.The impact factor is very high, but it was a pity that it was the third district. However, the latest Chinese Academy of Sciences JCR journal section in 2012 has already shown that it is the second district.
