Journal Aim & Scope
Nucleic Acids Research (NAR) publishes the results of leading edge research into physical, chemical, biochemical and biological aspects of nucleic acids and proteins involved in nucleic acid metabolism and/or interactions. It enables the rapid publication of papers under the following categories: Chemistry and synthetic biology; Computational biology; Gene regulation, chromatin and epigenetics; Genome integrity, repair and replication; Genomics; Molecular biology; Nucleic acid enzymes; RNA and Structural biology. A Survey and Summary section provides a format for brief reviews. The first issue of each year is devoted to biological databases, and an issue in July is devoted to papers describing web-based software resources of value to the biological community.

NAR Methods Online provides a forum for the online publication of methods papers.

    During my PhD, my proudest achievement was published in NAR. I felt extremely anxious during the two months of submission, often checking the website to see others' experiences. Now, I will share my specific timeline.

    2024.11.24 Submitted
    2024.12.05 in peer review
    2024.12.19 Received reviewer comments from two reviewers and the editor. The first reviewer seemed less enthusiastic but provided valuable feedback, while the second reviewer highly appreciated our results and raised many insightful questions, feeling as if they were involved in the project. The editor leaned towards the second reviewer's opinion, allowing a revision period of seven months.
    2025.01.13 Resubmitted the manuscript. Despite the lengthy revision period, only a few experiments needed to be added. The focus was on addressing the reviewers' questions in the paper and resubmitting before the new year.
    2025.01.16 in editorial review
    2025.01.22 Paper accepted. The article was accepted without being sent back to the reviewers, and the editor accepted it directly.

    This was my first experience with a reputable journal, and my mentor taught me to respect all reviewers' opinions and respond politely and attentively, avoiding unnecessary words and keeping the responses concise. Our lab has already published three articles in NAR, with a total turnaround time of less than two months and a review period of about two weeks. Some hot topics or competitive directions may have a faster review process.

    Now some primary schools in the country (some first-tier and second-tier) only consider the district rankings, which can be classified as secondary publications based on the level of NC... After NAR was classified as second-tier, it is not as good as those first-tier journals.

    You said that the database is corrupt, but domestic MP, imeta, and SB don't do things so blatantly. To put it bluntly, this magazine publisher has less influence, so it doesn't have as much vested interest in domestic affairs.

    I can't understand why NAR, such a classic journal, has been listed as a double second-zone journal by the Chinese Academy of Sciences for nearly three years, while many domestic journals can easily be listed as first-zone journals.

    Domestic partition drives people crazy. Everyone is spinning around the baton, spinning their hats. No one is seriously engaging in scientific research

    elife is also good, I have published an article there. Its positioning should be on par with PC and NAR, but the culture within the community is quite serious

    NAR and PLANT Cell are currently considered to be the top two journals in many foreign botanical laboratories. NAR is a classic old journal with a good reputation, influence, and rigor. It also has a high impact factor. Cell reports is far behind. I don't understand why NAR was ranked in the second quartile

    Sharing Three Submission Experiences. We work on plants.
    The first article was rejected by Plant Cell, rejected after review by NAR, rejected by NCB with a referral to a smaller NC, and finally published in NC.
    The second article was rejected after review by Plant Cell, we submitted directly to NCB and successfully referred to a smaller NC, and finally published smoothly.
    The third article followed the same routine, first Plant Cell, then NAR and then referred to a smaller NC, finally published successfully.

    Seeing the promotion of journal recognition makes me speechless. Professional journals and these so-called comprehensive journals have different considerations. PC and NAR look at the driving force for the discipline, while PNAS, SA, NC, etc. look at whether they can generate discussion. Those in research look at professional journals, while those in business look at comprehensive journals. Each to their own needs
