Posted on September 27th, I received the review comments from two reviewers on October 1st and 4th. On October 6th, I received the review comments from the associate editor. A total of nearly 30 review comments were provided. I submitted the revised manuscript on October 8th. One reviewer agreed to publish on the same day, while the other reviewer provided a second round of review comments on October 10th. After completing the revisions on the same day, I submitted the manuscript. It was accepted on October 25th, and after paying the page charges, typesetting began on October 29th. I submitted the proofreading certificate on November 10th, and it was formally published. The overall submission process went relatively smoothly, except that the page charges increased to $3225.

Today is 9 Sep 2022, and we are currently stuck at the Independent Review stage. The journal has asked us to recommend reviewers ourselves, and we have already initiated three rounds of recommendations but have not yet found suitable reviewers.

Can be modified.

youyouyouyou 2022-08-10

Can I ask, can the statement about the author's contribution at the end of the article still be modified after it is published?

You must upload data, including various sequencing data such as Rna-seq.

strollrabbit 2022-08-05

Good journal, top in Zone 2, the peer review is very professional, and the manuscript processing is extremely fast, taking only 26 days from submission to acceptance.

JWbb 2022-08-01

Do I have to upload sequencing data? I also have this question.

The key point is that I did not include any of the references he mentioned, and this reviewer rejected it outright without raising any concerns related to the quality of the content in the article.

First, let me share my submission process.

Submitted on June 23, 2022.

Assigned editor and external review on June 27, 2022. The editor is Jayesh Jagannath Ahire. I would like to thank him for his fairness, which will be mentioned later.

Reviewer 2's comments received on July 1, 2022. First review agreed to publish with 3 minor formatting issues mentioned.

Reviewer 3's comments received on July 7, 2022. First review agreed to publish with some minor discussion issues mentioned.

Reviewer 1's comments received on July 12, 2022. The key point here is that I want to expose the name of this reviewer, Assar Ali Shah, so that everyone knows about this person and can be cautious in the future. This reviewer provided me with a list of 10 of their own references, without mentioning anything substantial about my article in the review comments. It was just a sentence, suggesting to refer to the following papers for rewriting the introduction and discussion. Isn't this a disguised way of forcing the author to cite their own work? Moreover, I searched for some of the papers that he reviewed for Frontiers in Microbiology, and they all included the references he listed. However, the citations of his references in the papers and the context were not very appropriate, and they were not closely related to the whole paper. Fortunately, Jayesh, the editor, noticed this issue in time and sent me an email specifically stating that there was no need to cite any references suggested by the reviewers. This strengthened my determination and I chose to trust the editor, who did not let me down and made revisions on the same day.

Accepted on July 25, 2022.

May I ask, how long did it take from receiving to publication?

安然123 2022-07-08

Hello, I would like to ask where can I reply to the reviewer? Is it the dialogue box below the editor?

哈哈哈哈哈哈哈 2022-07-07

Fast speed, high impact factor.

pupupupupu 2022-07-01

I won't say anything more. This is the first time I've had such a satisfying submission experience. I'm lucky. I will continue to work hard!!!

水处理小菜鸡 2022-06-24

I want to ask everyone, how long does it take to accept and publish? I have been waiting for over a month with no progress.

努力发NCS 2022-06-20

Just today, a certain academician from the Chinese Academy of Sciences said that all journals under Frontiers are low-quality journals. In the future, students who publish papers under Frontiers may not be able to graduate! This has dealt a blow to all the hard work put into writing papers, going through the review process with dozens of pages of reviewer comments, and making multiple revisions before finally getting accepted. I can only say that this is one person's opinion!

hui 2022-06-06

Excuse me everyone, it has been 3 weeks since I submitted my article, but it still hasn't been assigned an editor. What should I do? I also sent an email to the editorial department but haven't received any response.

安然123 2022-06-04

What stage is your manuscript currently at?

hui 2022-06-04

I'm not familiar with this journal either, it's my first submission.

安然123 2022-06-04

Hello, I would like to ask if I need to wait for all reviewers' comments before replying to this journal. Currently, I have received comments from one reviewer.

hui 2022-05-26

After I submitted my article, I have been waiting for the editor assignment for 8 days. Is this situation normal? I am anxious.
