EMBO J, Plant Cell, and NP are all more recognized overseas than they are in their home countries

The only time I submitted an article, the editor turned out to be a postdoc from a domestic institute. The academic background of the editor of Nature magazine is really terrible. Is it appropriate for someone of this level to reject most of the articles as the first gatekeeper for submissions?

Fancy but not practical. Commercial magazines are just for making money

Contributions to Botany
plant cell > PNAS > nature plants 
Scientific Significance of the Article
plant cell > PNAS > nature plants
Pursuit of Hot Topics
nature plants > PNAS > plant cell
Difficulty of Publication in Popular Fields
plant cell > PNAS > nature plants
Difficulty of Publication in Niche Fields
Only plant cell has a chance, PNAS rarely publishes niche topics, and nature plants never publishes niche topics

Blindly pursuing hot topics, nature plants are almost occupied by several hot areas, as mentioned below, almost all of which are nucleic acid protein modifications, with many gene editing articles every year. Especially gene editing, it is all about taking the existing animal system and applying it to plants. The innovation is very low. There is no bottom line for making money. Compared to nature plants, Plant Cell has too much style!

(1) Thank | 仲元

The premier journal of botany is PC. PC has published numerous important advances in botany and even biology. The quality of articles in Nature Plants cannot compare to PC

(5) Thank | 草莓熊bbpop

Nature plants only has a high impact factor because it only publishes hot articles. Gene editing, nucleic acid protein modification, stress resistance, and crop yield increase

(0) Thank | 草莓熊bbpop

What animals do inside, just do it inside the plants, as long as it is hot enough, it can be published. This is the case with the Nature series

Accuracy: The abstract should accurately reflect the purpose and content of the paper; Independence: The abstract should be self-contained, independent, so special terms, all abbreviations (excluding units of measurement), and omissions should be explained; Succinct and specific: Each sentence in the abstract should provide information to the maximum extent possible and be as concise as possible; Tense and voice: The abstract generally uses present tense and simple past tense, and passive voice is often used to describe facts

Be systematic, accurate in content, concise in language, highlight the key points, and present information in a clear and easy-to-understand manner; use short sentences as much as possible, as long sentences can lead to semantic ambiguity, but avoid redundancy

How long does it take for NP to decide on submission? Will editors send a notification email when they decide to review submissions? It's agonizing to wait 12 days for a submission to move from "under consideration" status

(1) Thank | 留云曜儿

Same question, will we receive an email for the review? Thank you for answering.

May I ask if the editor will send an email notification after submission for review?

The translation of the text into English is: "nplants is a journal abbreviation for Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which focuses on plant-related research. Plant Cell is another journal that also specializes in plant biology."

(0) Thank | 亮08

Which one is more difficult to submit, Nature Plants or Plant Cell? I know that Plant Cell does not require high innovation but demands high research integrity. I'm not sure about the requirements for research integrity and innovation in Nature Plants.
