The operations of Cell Press are really incomprehensible. The earliest journal, iScience, was supposed to compete with small NC and SA, but it was discontinued after a few years, with its Impact Factor basically the same as SR. Then there was Heliyon, which was supposed to compete with SR, but it was put on hold. After the first two journals were discontinued, CRPS was launched, with an official news release stating that it was competing with small NC and SA (with an Impact Factor of at least 10), but after so many years, its Impact Factor is only slightly above 7 and may drop below 7 next year. Instead of thinking about how to save it, they just launched a new journal, Cell Press Blue, claiming to compete with small NC and SA (with an Impact Factor of 15-20), and directly intercepting submissions from CRPS. Uh...

The low impact factor has affected the source of submissions. The article processing fee for the journal has been reduced to $4900. Improving the impact factor is the editor's top priority, and it is something that we really need to learn from the editors of domestic journals.

Yes, based on the impact factor, it is possible that it will continue to decline next year, which is worrying.

Authentic Cell sub-journal, but the impact factor is not high, and the influence is not good either, wasting such a good cell brand. The editors are not powerful enough, they should learn from the editors of Journal of Advanced Research and The Innovation journals.

Direction of RNA chemical modification, submitted on 5.14, reviewed one day later, received major revisions on 6.4 with three reviewers, one of whom had minimal comments while the other two provided constructive and scientific feedback, suggesting the need for additional experiments. Revised manuscript was resubmitted on 8.31 and reviewed the following day, with anticipated acceptance on 9.17.

The major revision was given within less than a month after submission, showing high efficiency;
Three reviewers took 3 months to provide feedback, which was very constructive;
After revising, two reviewers accepted the article while one suggested further revisions, leading to significant improvement in the quality of the article;
It took about half a month to receive acceptance for publication;
Then came the submission of the OA.
Overall, the experience was good and suitable for teachers who need a publication but lack background. Personally, I feel that the investment returns are acceptable.

When can the impact factor reach over 10? Looking forward to it.

The quality of the article feels acceptable, but unfortunately, the impact factor has been consistently low.
