Transparent Peer Review Timeline
We believe in transparency throughout the publication process. Our atmospheric science editorial board and expert reviewers work efficiently to provide constructive feedback while maintaining rigorous quality standards.
Manuscript Submission
Submit your atmospheric science research through ManuscriptZone or Quick Submission Form. You'll receive immediate confirmation with a unique manuscript ID for tracking.
Editorial Screening
Our editorial team conducts initial screening for scope alignment, completeness, and plagiarism check (iThenticate). Manuscripts with >30% similarity are returned for revision. An editor specializing in your research area is assigned.
Reviewer Selection
The assigned editor identifies 2-3 expert reviewers with expertise in your specific atmospheric science subdiscipline (e.g., climate modeling, atmospheric chemistry, synoptic meteorology).
Peer Review Process
Expert reviewers evaluate your manuscript for scientific rigor, methodological soundness, data quality, and contribution to atmospheric science. Average review time: 21 days.
Editorial Decision
Based on reviewer recommendations, the editor makes a decision: Accept, Minor Revisions, Major Revisions, or Reject. You receive detailed reviewer comments and actionable feedback.
Revision Submission
If revisions are required, submit your revised manuscript with a point-by-point response to reviewer comments. We recommend submitting revisions within 30 days to maintain momentum.
Revision Review
Revised manuscripts undergo expedited re-review (typically 14 days) to verify that concerns have been adequately addressed.
Production & Publication
Accepted manuscripts enter production for copyediting, typesetting, and final proofing. Your article is published online and assigned a DOI within 10 days of acceptance.
Average Time from Submission to Publication: 60 Days
This timeline represents our average performance. Fast-track options are available for time-sensitive atmospheric phenomena or urgent climate findings. Contact the editorial office to discuss expedited review.
