EO: Editor office, under review isn't it external review?

According to the statistical results of 2020, Chinese researchers accounted for 28.494% of the publications in the Plant Physiology journal, ranking second. However, based on the statistical results of 2021, Chinese researchers accounted for 38.142% of the publications in the Plant Journal, ranking first. Additionally, in 2021, Chinese researchers accounted for 29.683% of the publications in the New Phytologist journal, ranking second. In terms of the proportion of Chinese publications in the Plant Biotechnology Journal in 2022, it accounted for 63.27% of the total number of articles (compared to 57.95% in 2019), ranking first.

It is commonly recognized that the 30% mark is the threshold for low-quality journals, regardless of how classic your previous work was!

The skyrocketing impact factor is also driven by Chinese people, as Chinese articles make up a large portion! The quality of the articles is worrisome, definitely a low-quality journal.

Currently, Chinese contributors make up 63.27% of PBJ Magazine, which can be considered very friendly! Do you know why it's in Zone 1!

Before I went abroad, PBJ was considered a third-rate magazine, and it was generally seen as a mediocre magazine overseas. I planned to publish my first article in PBJ for my Ph.D., but my American boss said that publishing in this magazine would not benefit my reputation and insisted on submitting it to PLOS Genetics (which has a good reputation abroad). However, PLOS Genetics did not even send it for review and it was eventually accepted by Plant J. Several classmates in China who are pursuing their Ph.D. have published several articles in PBJ by watering down their gene editing research. When they apply for jobs in China with Plant J publications, they are looked down upon. It's really frustrating knowing that it's not as good as publishing a few articles in PBJ. The standards for recognizing magazines in China and abroad are too far apart. Students who want to go abroad for prestige should think carefully.

From what I can see, only Chinese people think that MP is better than PC... PBJ is harder to invest in than PP? You're kidding, right?

The submission took two and a half months to enter the review process. During this time, I sent two inquiry emails to the journal regarding the progress of the review. The journal's response emails were very professional.

Many people say that PBJ is a low-tier journal compared to other well-regarded journals in the field. Objectively speaking, PBJ definitely cannot be compared to PC. However, currently, it is more difficult to get an article published in PBJ compared to PP, PJ, and PCE. Just a few years ago, MP may have been inferior to PC and possibly even to PP, PCE, and PLOS Genetics. But with a stable increase in impact factor, its status has improved significantly. Therefore, if PBJ can ensure the quality of papers and maintain a stable increase in impact factor, it should gain more recognition in a few years.

Just submitted the manuscript 3 days ago, currently it is still in the status of EO: Editor office, under review, not sure how long it will take to be sent out for external review

Magazines with high impact factors and a majority of Chinese articles are often seen as low-quality publications. This magazine falls into both categories. As for the rest, you can figure it out.

It should be soon. The submission process is always somewhat tedious.

I submitted it on July 31st, and until now, the Editor-in-Chief is still performing initial assessment. I don't know how long I have to wait.

Is "under review" referring to internal audit by the editor?

Trash magazine, I submitted it more than 50 days ago and haven't received any updates. I sent an email to inquire, but they directly rejected it after a few days without providing any feedback. Extremely irresponsible.

How long does the chief editor's initial review usually take?

Given the diversity and complexity of biology, it is not a problem to have different results and publish them, because scientific research itself allows and encourages questioning, supplementing, and improving previous knowledge, and even overturning it. When writing a paper, we need to pay attention to two main points: accurately present the materials and methods and results, especially where they differ from others, emphasize them, and provide details; in the discussion section, do not avoid contradictions, compare points of similarity and difference with previous studies, and try to provide reasonable and effective explanations

Highlight the innovativeness of your research, demonstrating distinctive features that set you apart from others. The magnitude of the difference is another issue; the key is to stand out, as long as there is a distinction, it is considered innovative
