How do I say? One article submitted by junior sister apprentice was rejected successively by Oncogene, EBioMedicine, and Cell Death. Later, the supervisor said that this journal had a high impact factor and suggested to submit to it. The impact factor was over 5 in 2018, and it is 14 in 2020. The impact factor has been hyped, and the actual level is estimated to be around 5.

I saw an article in this magazine that was all about WB tape, and the style of it looked completely consistent, instantly losing interest.

Submitted in December 2023, revised over a month later, the feedback from the editors and reviewers was very detailed, showing a serious review of the article. After two rounds of revisions, it was finally accepted, taking a total of 7 months.

I don't understand why there are so many sour grape mentality people who can't stand to see domestic journals improve. Is mindlessly criticizing interesting? If you have the ability, publish an article there and then speak. Anyway, if our papers are not accepted by top-tier journals or major journals, we will consider submitting them here, but it is also difficult to get accepted. Many papers that were rejected by STTT were accepted by NC, and there are quite a few accepted by Cell Reports. At the very least, this proves that STTT has a higher difficulty level for manuscript submission compared to regular journals.

The quality is not that bad, but when will domestic journals stop the farce of impact factor?

Submitted in March this year, reviewed for a month, major revisions! Was given a month to make the necessary modifications, then requested an additional month of revision with the editor; revised and resubmitted in June, minor revisions were made during the second review and it was provisionally accepted; in early July, the editorial department made the requested modifications to the images and officially accepted it! The entire process took less than 5 months, showcasing the editors' high efficiency. Wishing everyone success, and may the magazine thrive even further!

Received, the reviewer's comments are very professional, but the handling of the manuscript is slow.

Although the impact factor is increasing rapidly, most of the impact factors are achieved through letter publications, and it is easier to be accepted by submitting in letter format. However, it is important to remind everyone that a small number of institutions have regulations that letters (excluding Nature's letters) are not considered articles and cannot be used for promotion or awards. Considering this trend, the publication volume of letters in domestic journals is very high, leading to internal competition, and only raising assessment standards. I believe that this trend will continue to spread in the future. Those who want to go far in scientific research should carefully consider submitting letters, including letters from Cell Research, as they may no longer be considered articles in the future.

Now there are many manuscripts, not the level of a 5-minute article two years ago. No matter how much is said, go and see the quality of the article for yourself. It's a very good magazine.
