It took almost 10 months from submission to acceptance, but their review cycle is very fast, generally more than a month. The first review comment was "rejection and resubmission", which was equivalent to a major revision, and the opinions were very pertinent, mainly including adding experiments and subjects, and we spent about 3 months to improve it. After resubmission, the second review required a "major revision". We revised it according to the suggestion. The result of the third review was to accept it. Generally speaking, the quality of this journal is very good, the review speed is very fast, and if you get a good work, you can still try it.

Due to the large increase in manuscript submissions, we can publish only about 15-20% of papers and many papers in the past have been rejected only after a time-consuming, multi-stage process, which became burdensome to both the authors and reviewers. In the interest of saving the reviewers' effort, as well as the time of one to two months it may take to obtain 2-3 written detailed reviews, we are returning the manuscript.

This journal prefers to publish articles focused on neuroimaging. The editors and reviewers are very professional and critical, and the current editor is very responsive. Most articles go through two rounds of review; each round of review is about one month long. Requirements for innovative research are high, so it is best to have a decent publication record before submitting your manuscript to Cerebral Cortex. Since high-level journals never lack manuscript submissions, the novelty of the article will largely determine whether your paper will be submitted for review.

Submitted on October 15, 2024, to record merit, make a wish to publish 100 SCI papers. Hopefully, CC won't drop to the second quartile next year.

Starting from 2023, cerebral cortex will no longer charge manuscript processing fees and page charges.

CC has really gone downhill from a top journal to a lousy one. The impact factor dropped from seven or eight to three or four. The ranking went from being in the first tier to a lower tier. This magazine has truly become a third or fourth-rate journal, which is sad

Do we still need to pay publication fees? How can I choose non-OA?

(0) Thank | 大耳朵兔子

I remember there was a review fee of $75, $62 per page after the article is accepted, and $300 for each color image

Hello, after I submitted, my status changed to "under review" on the same day, and it has been almost a month now

(0) Thank | 雪灵小仙女

Does it become "under review" on the first day of submission?

(0) Thank | Blake Hamilton

Is the status "Under review" displayed all the time during the review period?

(0) Thank | 思若大叔

That's fine. Established journals usually require a review fee! Sometimes the review fee is used as the cost for the annual reviewer gathering

Review speed: 1.0 | Submission hit rate: 25.0
Emphasized research direction: neuroimage
Experience sharing on depression: Overall, it is a very good journal with a lot of editorial rights. The review process usually takes about 3 weeks, then a revision, and then acceptance. Editors need to be interested in the direction

Every study inevitably has research limitations. Reasons such as research design and research methods can lead to research limitations

(0) Thank | 维尔娜菲茨杰拉德

It is still necessary for us to clearly explain the limitations encountered in our research in the paper, and to illustrate how these limitations might impact the conclusions drawn in the paper, so that reviewers and other readers can understand that we have thoroughly considered the limitations of the study. Discussing the limitations of the research work in the discussion section typically increases the credibility of the article. Considering how to overcome these limitations in future research could have a positive impact

Review speed: 1.0 Experience sharing: It took nearly 10 months from submission to acceptance, but their review process is actually quite fast, typically around a month. The first review feedback was a "reject and resubmit," which is essentially a major revision. The feedback was very constructive, mainly focusing on adding experiments and participants. It took about 3 months to address the feedback and resubmit. The second review was a "major revision," where I made revisions based on the suggestions. The third review resulted in acceptance. Overall, the journal is of high quality, with a fast review process, so it's worth submitting good work
