It’s very curious. The three-year average IF of Bioinformatics should be 5.7732016, 7.3072017, 5.4812018, IF 4.531. The three-year average of the Knowledge Based System is 4.672016, 4.5292017, 4.3962018, IF 5.101. Both belonging to the Computer Science, Knowledge Based System is in Q1, and Bioinformatics is in Q3. What standard does it use for categorizing?

This journal was really efficient. Major revision comments were given a month after submission, and after returning the revised manuscript, minor revision comments were given one month later. After returning the revised manuscript, it was accepted in less than a week. It went online directly in a few days.

Recommendation of major revisions returned two months after submission; It was accepted 3 days after minor revision. Bioinformatics is a very authoritative journal and reviewers attached great importance to unique creativity. Questions and suggestions they put forward were very pertinent, greatly improving the quality of the article.

I am optimistic about my submission to Bioinformatics. I received reviews after 4 months (the editor said that one reviewer didn’t respond for 2 months at first) and re-submitted my manuscript post-revision two weeks later. Overall, the reviews were very detailed, and any issues with language were either fixed or pointed out. If your article is innovative, it shouldn’t be difficult to be accepted into this journal. It is worth mentioning that the editor was communicative and professional. I recommend submitting to Bioinformatics.

First decision: 1 month, submission can deviate from the template
Total review time: 5 months, typically 3-4 months, may be delayed during Christmas holidays
The handling editor provided very helpful revisions, and the feedback from the reviewers was constructive and professional. Following their suggestions, we added a melt experiment, with one major and one minor revision.
Bioinformatics, as a well-established top journal in the field of bioinformatics, has a wide scope and has been fully Open Access since around 23 years ago. The journal has a considerable annual publication output and is worth submitting to.

"Bioinformatics" is a top journal in the field of mathematics and computational biology published by Oxford Academic, and is also a top journal in the field of bioinformatics. However, it is currently only classified as a third-tier journal in the Chinese Academy of Sciences' major categories!!!

There were two reviewers for the first review, and their comments were very insightful. The associate editor provided helpful suggestions for major revisions instead of outright rejection

How is your current status? I submitted my article for the first time and it has been pending decision for two weeks. I haven't seen any comments from the reviewers yet. Is this normal?
