Verified Reviews
Currently, JRMGE adopts a centralized review of 22-25 papers for potential acceptance, so there is a threshold. For those below the threshold [minimum score], it is possible to have papers that are approved by the reviewers and scientific editors, but unfortunately rejected in the end. After analyzing the papers that were rejected by the editorial team/editorial board, I found that the reasons mostly concentrated on the following aspects: 1) Language issues [not just simple grammar errors, but the logic, structure, and emphasis of the paper]; 2) Novelty of the paper [comparing with papers already published in JRMGE and other journals]; 3) Readability of the paper [logic between paragraphs, results description, discussion section, etc.]; 4) Issue of excessive text duplication in the paper [papers are checked for plagiarism, and if the ratio exceeds a certain threshold, i.e., a single paper exceeds 5% and the cumulative total exceeds 15%, it will be recorded]; 5) Possible authorship issues in the paper [where authors are unaware but still listed], etc. On the other hand, due to the current low acceptance rate of JRMGE [approximately 8%], it is planned to transition to a monthly publication in 2023 and gradually increase the capacity to allow more scientists to have the opportunity to publish good papers in JRMGE. Once again, I would like to thank all the experts for their constructive feedback and corrections.
