The selected field is interaction. It has been almost a month since submission and it is still awaiting assessment. The efficiency of the peer review process is truly disappointing.

Feedback will be returned in one month, and the submission was rejected after review. The process was still relatively fast, so I hope everyone has better luck next time!

Your speed is indeed a bit slow, which does not align with their principles.

I submitted an article on bioinformatics, it has been over twenty days and it is still awaiting assessment. Is this normal?

It's been 10 days already. Experienced seniors, is this situation good or bad?

You may be looking at the data for June, but it's already almost 8 in December, and the predicted impact factor is around 8.5. The efficiency of the editorial department of New Phytologist is very high, so make sure to submit an article.

What is the situation now? Have you accepted it? How is the review speed?

Submitted on November 30th, still awaiting assessment since December 2nd... Nervous...

Predicting an instant impact factor of 3-4 by 2025 is quite surprising, and it's hard to say whether it's true or not.

This is the state of being under review.

You're really good at boasting, but nobody will pay much attention to you even if you publish several articles in CNS journals. Even if you publish 20 articles in New Phytol, it's nothing special.

What direction are you headed in?

I don't know the current situation of all Chinese scholars, but in our field, it is possible to obtain the Excellent Youth Award by publishing two articles in New Phytologist between 2016 and 2020. Since its establishment, only four research groups in our field in China have published in this journal, which is widely recognized as a top journal in our field. Our research group has submitted twice so far, both times being rejected (I am a recipient of the Excellent Youth Award overseas). I see many people saying that Nature Communications and PNAS are low-quality journals, but those who have submitted articles know how difficult it is. Regardless of the content of the article, even the amount of data alone is enough to deter many ordinary PhD students. Generally, having an article published in New Phytologist, PNAS, or Nature Communications in our field makes it easier to find a teaching position at a regular university.
