In 2022, over 7000 articles were published, with each article having over 20,000 words. In total, it reached 140 million words. My goodness, the majority of them were written by Chinese people. Some people claim it's not just a magazine to make money, but are they deceiving themselves or others? Wake up!

The article was assigned an editor within a week of submission, and it has already undergone independent review. It currently shows that a reviewer is in the process of reviewing it. The speed is impressive.

Just submitted a review, it has already passed the initial review and is being assigned to an editor. Looking forward to a good result. The page fee is really expensive, nearly 25,000 RMB.

What does it mean when one reviewer agrees to accept and another reviewer withdraws?

This magazine has high requirements. The editors are responsible, and the reviewers are professional and reasonable. The comments they provide are also very constructive. Some of the suggestions may differ from the current experimental norms, but the reviewers can understand them after detailed explanations. The article received feedback from three reviewers within about a month, and the evaluations were all very positive. After submitting the revised manuscript, all three reviewers approved it within two hours, which was incredibly efficient. Two days later, an acceptance notice was issued. This is the best journal I have ever submitted to! I will continue to strive for publication in this journal in the future. My main focus is on clinical diagnosis and treatment of tumors, as well as the mechanisms of occurrence and drug resistance in liver malignancies and gynecological tumors.

Boss, can you explain what original data needs to be uploaded?

杜冷丁 2023-01-07

Regarding proof:
At that time, the proof was only given after paying the layout fee. The review process and the publishing process are two different departments because they have different blogs and varying academic levels. It is important to carefully review the proof as there may be minor processing errors.

椰汁先生 2023-01-02

In theory, after acceptance, it directly enters the proof stage, without the need to complete payment to start typesetting. It is said that proofreading and reviewing are two separate departments, each with their own responsibilities.

I want to ask, do I need to pay the layout fee before I can proofread this magazine?

杜冷丁 2022-12-04

Non-tumor disease molecular mechanisms. Choose a topic section with fewer submissions. The editor is very friendly.
There are three reviewers in total. The first reviewer agrees to accept it directly and provides several suggestions, which are beneficial.
The second reviewer provides 7 modification suggestions, and after making the modifications, they accept it. Among them, one suggestion requires experimental conditions that are currently not available. After explaining, they agree.
The third reviewer has a high academic level and reviews it meticulously, providing a total of 18 modification suggestions. Some of the suggestions are insightful, and we explain and modify the manuscript in detail. Some of the suggestions are overly picky, and we feel that the content they requested is different from the majority of the current paper handling methods, so we provide counterarguments. As a result, they promptly reject it! Don't be stubborn with reviewers.
Overall, the process from submission to acceptance went smoothly. It has been published now.

The revision comments on the probiotic nutrition and immune direction are very professional, with high requirements for images, which will help improve the paper.

It's normal, no need to worry about him. Once he starts changing his state, it will be fast.

不知不吱 2022-09-23

The feeling is that this magazine came out quite quickly and it's quite good.

生气通天 2022-09-13

No replacement, directly invested and modified a lot of content.

树人流水 2022-08-30

May I ask if you used the same account after being rejected? Have you considered changing your account? Mine was also rejected, but I feel it was a bit unfair, so I want to try again. Thank you.

生气通天 2022-08-23

It was a convoluted experience of submission. After the first submission, it was rejected by an external review, requiring significant revisions, and then rejected by the editor. After making further modifications, it was resubmitted and received positive evaluations from three reviewers. After undergoing another round of revisions, it was finally accepted.

申彩京 2022-07-27

Dear, I have also received a rejection with suggested revisions. The editor asked me to make the revisions and after I did, the editor left a comment saying that I should also reply to the comments from the rejector. However, I couldn't find the "add comment" option on the rejector's page. Could you please let me know where you replied to the rejector's feedback?

逐梦 2022-07-25

Hello, after both of my reviewers agreed to publish, the associate editor said, "We don't think the work can be accepted based on most reviewers' comments." I have already made the revisions according to the reviewers' requirements. I'm wondering what the associate editor is asking for after both reviewers have agreed in your submission process?

shuoshuoma 2022-06-13

I have also subscribed to this magazine for a month and it is still in the initial validation stage. May I ask what happened later?

shubao 2022-06-06

Hello, may I ask if this magazine requires all original data to be uploaded before the manuscript is reviewed? This includes ELISA, Western blot, flow cytometry, and also the SPSS statistical analysis files.

The magazine needs to be modified according to the provided template, and there is no need to write a Cover Letter. However, a paragraph about contributions to the field should be written for the Editor's reference. It has been 9 days since the submission, and it is currently in the "Editor assignment" status. Suddenly, on a certain Saturday morning, an email was received stating that the first Reviewer's comments were available to view on the system interface. It was discovered that the Editor had also been assigned and the first Reviewer had completed their review. I speculate that after the manuscript was submitted, the Editor had already made arrangements and selected the Reviewer, but the Editor did not confirm it on the system. An email notification is sent for each Reviewer's comments. My article has two Reviewers. The Editor's response on the system was that both he and the Reviewer believe it can be published, but further revisions are needed. This magazine (or possibly the Frontier series) filled out the response on the system, but it is not possible to attach images on the system, so providing reference data and supplementary information may be inconvenient (no other option to upload attachments was seen). After replying to the revision, the Editor quickly responded saying that the article has been accepted. From submission to acceptance, it took a total of about 15 days, which is considered very fast. However, we have not received the PDF proof version yet. Keep going, and I hope everyone's submissions go smoothly!

Posted on February 11th, I received all feedback approximately three weeks later. All suggestions were minor modifications. It is important to note that the submission interface does not remind you of the deadline. However, around the 10th day, I received an email informing me of a delay. The email from the editor was very friendly, asking when I could submit. At that time, I had other urgent matters, so I replied requesting a two-week extension. The next day, it was changed to "on time." After submitting the revised manuscript, it was accepted the following day. The publishing department provided the proof in about 10 days and requested a submission within 48 hours. Approximately 5 days later, it was published.

chmc 2022-03-03

Thank you, Frontiers. The submission interface is very clear and user-friendly. The review process is fast, and the reviewers are professional, providing valuable feedback. The editors are also very diligent and responsible.

Replying to oneself: I personally heard a respected individual say that this series is published in that certain magazine, and it's wildly popular in China... Taking its current situation into consideration, I couldn't help but express my feelings and hope that it doesn't go down the same path as those two individuals...

xiaodede 2021-11-27

I encountered experts in the field of foreign research twice when submitting my work. They were very rigorous and their comments were also quite critical, which greatly helped improve the quality of the manuscript. Through the revision process, I also learned a lot myself. However, looking at the trend of the increasing number of publications and articles by Chinese people, and the presence of some low-quality articles, I can't help but feel that this journal is likely to decline. Its reputation in China is not good, and if you don't believe it, just try submitting an article and you will see when you start looking for a job.

Tao Zhang zymu 2021-11-22

The suggestions for revision are very constructive, but the reviewing process is a bit slow in terms of speed.
