est-review-process

separate

Use to understand how Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T) evaluates a manuscript — editor desk-screening that declines a significant fraction without external review, expert review by typically three reviewers, and editor-led decisions. It sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

When to use

• stress-test against desk-decline grounds
• interpreting a decision letter
• understanding what expert reviewers are likely to weigh
• deciding whether the work is urgent enough for ES&T Letters
• shaping the paper to pass review

When not to use

• contacting editors
