Submitted at the end of July 2022, the manuscript was sent for review one week later. After another week, we received the comments for major revisions from two reviewers, which included approximately 10 important suggestions. The revision period was set for 6 months, and the revised manuscript was returned in early December. After one more month, some minor issues were raised, which were clarified and resubmitted. Finally, at the end of January, the article was accepted.

The quality of PNAS articles is just average, can't compare with NCB's work

Although it is slightly less recognized than Cell Reports, being placed into tier two is excessive

The comparability between different fields is not significant, but biology is truly a more intricate discipline than chemistry...

What can be compared between different disciplines?

JACS is fast-paced but has had a lot of low-quality materials in recent years. Its reputation is deteriorating. Its level is not comparable to SA and NC.
NAR is an established journal with consistently good standards, and its quality has been increasing in recent years.

As for interdisciplinary comparisons, chemistry does indeed produce results faster, but JACS should be more difficult to publish in than most 5-point journals in the field of biology. In the medical field, it can be compared to a 7-point journal. However, the problem remains that chemistry articles are published too quickly. Many job applicants in chemistry can have close to ten JACS-level articles, while in the field of biology, having a third of that quantity and quality would be considered good.

Oh my god! Just being black for the sake of being black! Talking so much without any concealment and nonsense! JACS is a well-established, classic, and high-impact TOP journal in the field of chemistry, even in research areas slightly related to chemistry. Moreover, it is non-OA (open access) (emphasizing that OA is only compared to high-impact OA journals in the field of biology, and the reason why it is placed in the second tier by the Chinese Academy of Sciences is also justified)! If it wasn't for NCs and SAs collecting money under the guise of "sub-journals," who would choose JACS? Do we even need to compare it to NAR? Compare it to biological journals with ratings below 5? You really dare to make arbitrary statements. Although JACS now accepts some articles on biological materials and involves some simple biological experiments, the innovative point of the articles still lies in the field of chemistry. Can those who work in biology do the same? It's so funny! Don't look down on chemistry. Which molecular biology experiment is not built on the foundation of chemical inventions and discoveries? You directly use ready-made technical means to do some repetitive and money-burning work, and by piling up the workload, you can get a score of 10 or more, right?

Excuse me, which direction did the hero throw to?

Same question, your update is a few days later, mine has been in editorial review for half a month

Hello, I would like to inquire about what it looks like after you submit for review. It has been two weeks since I submitted it, but the status has not been updated. I don't know what the situation is.

This isn't a joke, there's no need to mythologize PNAS. Many people in China have become associated with American Academy of Sciences fellows, and the entire PNAS isn't that difficult

Experience sharing: It is very difficult to publish a paper in this journal that is considered excellent. Chinese authors contribute less than 8%

Is it still possible to directly reject without review after 10 days?

Around 10 days

The impact factor of NAR this year has soared to 16.9. The review speed of this journal is really fast, less than a week for review, and it takes about 3 to 4 weeks in the hands of reviewers. I was given a "Revisions" status, and the editor requested that I return the review comments within 15 days. I was quite lucky to have it accepted directly after 3 weeks. Overall, NAR has high requirements for innovation!

Hello, may I ask how many days your article has been in editorial review before receiving further updates? Mine has been in review for several days as well

May I ask if the original poster has high-throughput data? Do you need to upload it to the UCSC Genome Browser?
