The processing speed of this journal is very impressive. After one month after sending for review, the review was completed. There were three experts. It took only more than 2 months from acceptance after revised submission to online publication. The logistic services were also very efficient, and emails were basically responded on the same day. The submission and review system is the most comfortable one I have ever used. I feel that IF will continue to rise, and many experts will publish on it.

Two papers were accepted after revisions. The editor was serious, and the publication fee was a bit expensive.

I feel love and hate for this journal. Originally a lab member suggested submitting to this journal. They say it is fast. I didn’t think they were fast, but this journal gave me the opportunity. I will recommend other lab member to contribute.

The submission system is very good, with timely feedback. One downside is that the uploaded charts need to be manually dragged to reorder, otherwise the sequence will be messed up.

After two months of review, the reviewer disappeared. Unable to find the reviewer, the editor suggested submitting to a different journal.

It's already the 8th day of RF, but there's still no news from the editors. I don't know what's going on. Jiaoling is anxious to graduate. I hope the editors can show mercy.

I recently submitted to this journal, and after reaching the final review stage, it was sent back to me for revisions. After inviting reviewers again and making revisions, it was sent back to me again at the final review stage. I'm not sure what's going on. The journal seems to be having some issues recently.

I submitted on 2.15 and only found the AE on 4.15, but the AE was super efficient. I entered the interactive review on 4.21, revised on 4.28, and was directly accepted on 4.30.

Any progress? It's been almost two months since my Editorial Assignment, but there hasn't been any movement yet.

It's been almost two months since the editorial assignment, and there's still no progress. What should I do? Should I write a letter to inquire about it? Will it be rejected?

(0) Thank | ZZKE

Reducing the weight didn't help much either, even after reducing it to 16%, it still didn't pass the initial review. I don't understand where the problem lies, and it hasn't even reached the editors yet.

Still rejected, may need the original data?

Recently, I am unable to access the Frontiers official website and can't see the review status. Does anyone else have this issue?

Have you reapplied now? What is your current status?

The system may have detected a high repetition rate, so it did not provide it to the editor. Let's lower the repetition rate to 20 and try again. That's how I am now.

(0) Thank | HH G

The reply similar to yours has a repetition rate of 27%, it is also a template rejection. Inquiries are also not answered, it never even reaches the hands of the editor.

(0) Thank | Jary

Instant rejection, may I ask the reason for the rejection? Is it due to a fixed format? I noticed the first "principle of good faith" and it may be a problem of article repetition, with a 23% repetition rate. Most of the repetition is in the methods section. Do I need to make changes before resubmitting? I have requested detailed reasons for rejection from the editorial department, please help me out.

May I ask what happened next?

Spent several hours carefully proofreading and submitted the proofreading draft on the same day.
