This journal lacks integrity, disregards the efforts of contributors, only cares about itself, sincerely not recommended for contributors to submit articles!!!, be cautious!! be cautious!! be cautious!!!

I/We had a real submission experience in Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology, which should be carefully considered by future authors, especially those in the fields of computational biology, bioinformatics, and deep learning prediction models.

The complete timeline is as follows:
- Submitted on December 26, 2025
- Received reviewer comments on February 20, 2026
- Submitted revised manuscript on March 14, 2026
- Revised manuscript entered into subsequent editorial processing on March 20, 2026
- Received official acceptance notification from the journal on April 28, 2026
- On April 29, 2026, the day after acceptance, the journal suddenly sent an email rescinding acceptance, citing "not within the scope of the journal" as the reason for withdrawal and rejection.

Fellow authors, submit with caution, submit with caution, submit with caution!!!

Hello, I had a major repair after UR, then it became UR again after rework, and then it changed to RRC and then back to UR. Do you know what happened?

The journal has a fast review speed and is friendly to Chinese researchers! Articles with omics content are more likely to be published. Long-term prospects are promising!

Is this journal fee-based?

I am also in the same situation as you. My submission with the editor went under review the next day. Is it possible that it will be rejected so quickly? How about yours?

The review process is quite fast, with submissions being accepted in less than 2 months. In case of delays in the external review, the manuscript may be sent back to the reviewers.

Promoted to Zone 1, just the level of Zone 2! The division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is really ridiculous! Intervening in the regulation of zones, elevating domestic journals! Rubbish!

Submitted on 4/1, rejected on 4/16. The reason given was that the research group recently published a similar article! The journal requires originality! This is so frustrating! The associate editor is Tilmann Weber!!!

Submission was made on April 1st, but four days later there is still no assigned manuscript number. The Manuscript Number field is empty, but there is a number in the downloaded file. The status remains "submitted to journal." Could it be due to the Qingming Festival?

The domestically-produced excellent journal has launched a new issue with a high starting point. The first review was very fast, and within a month, minor revisions were given. After the revisions were made, one of the reviewers did not respond to the comments for nearly a month, and it took nearly another month for the acceptance. The whole process took less than two months. Even the fragrance of wine is afraid of the deep alley. I hope to strengthen promotion and wish the journal to become better and better!
