Originally, this journal was still acceptable, but in recent years, there has been a serious issue of watered-down content. Although the impact factor is around 7-8, the actual quality is only about 5. If you want to increase your impact factor, get promoted, or find a job, you can submit to this journal. It's easy to get accepted, and the cost-effectiveness is high.

However, if you are serious about doing research, be cautious about submitting to this journal. In the future, experts may look down upon it, and when applying for grants, the impression of experts towards this journal is not good. Based on the level of articles in the past two years, it is also possible that it will be included in the warning list. Don't submit your good articles to this journal. First, try Cancer Research, Cell Reports, or reputable domestic journals like Protein Cell.
