About 2 months after the submission, the result of external review was given, and they were very good reviewers (hit the nail on the head). At the time, I just thought that even if it could not be accepted, it was worthwhile to have such good review comments. It took one month for the major revision (I really don’t know how to answer some questions). The result of the second review was returned in half a month, and minor revision was required. About one week after the submission of the minor revised manuscript, it was accepted directly (for this speed, it should not be sent for external review). It’s still a very friendly journal, and you can have a try. (However, the publication fee is a bit expensive, which is 25,000. I am going to save money.)

Critical Care was not a well-known journal in the past. However, in recent years, many high-quality papers have been published in this journal, which has led to a rapid increase in the impact factor. This year the impact factor for Critical Care exceeded 5 and CC became the top journal in the field of critical illnesses. To be published in this journal, your research must be innovative and extremely well-written. Critical Care is a highly efficient journal that is worthy of submission by high-ranking scholars.

The magazine is too trashy, three major revisions, always requiring the use of Springer Nature Author Services for polishing, and after polishing, it is quickly rejected. If I do not polish as required this time, there will be a fourth major revision, until polishing, and then rejection. Too trashy, be cautious when submitting!!!

Hello, with regards to the completely negative feedback, have you made any modifications according to the feedback? Currently, I have received feedback from three reviewers, one of whom gave completely negative feedback. I am unable to make changes based on the negative feedback.

Research focus: Intensive care experience sharing. I wrote a popular science article on monkeypox for intensive care physicians, submitted on September 5th. The first review was completed on the 21st, and all three reviewers had an appreciative attitude. After revisions, it was accepted on September 30th. The journal's speed is extremely fast, and the reviewers are very professional. Thumbs up.

The additive effect refers to the effect of two drugs used together equaling the effect of double the dose of each drug when used alone. If the therapeutic effect obtained from combining two drugs is greater than the sum of the effects of each drug used alone, it is called a synergistic effect.
How to determine whether two drugs have a synergistic effect or an additive effect?
Due to the many factors that can affect therapeutic outcomes in animal experiments or clinical treatments, unless the result is significantly greater than the sum of the effectiveness of each drug, it can be clearly determined that a synergistic effect has been achieved; otherwise, it is generally referred to as an enhancement effect

The Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC, or Pearson's r) is a widely used measure of linear correlation

(0) Thank | 维尔娜菲茨杰拉德

What is synergism? What is additive effect? What are the differences between the two?

Emphasized research directions: critical care; cardiovascular; sharing of clinical research experience: When I submitted the manuscript, I also searched for the review speed of journals everywhere and did not see too much relevant information. So here is some additional information, hoping it will be helpful to others. The journal mainly accepts clinical-related articles, and it takes about two months to get the first review results. In the early stage, there was a long delay in new submissions, probably due to a large number of submissions, causing slower processing, so patience is needed. After receiving major revisions, I must praise the reviewers selected by the journal. They are all very professional and provide excellent revision suggestions without causing unnecessary difficulties. By following the reviewers' suggestions and making good revisions, even if the manuscript is rejected, it can still be upgraded when transferred to other journals. Major revisions took about a month, and after resubmission, the results of the second review were available in about half a month, which is very fast! What followed was minor revisions, which were accepted within a week after resubmission (probably without another round of external review). The only downside is that the layout cost is slightly expensive...had to ask my parents for help with payment

Research focus: Clinical experience sharing of critically ill patients: The fourth submission to Crit Care, a single-center observational study on sepsis. Submitted on July 6th, received major revisions on August 19th from three reviewers - one with completely negative feedback and the other two more friendly. Additional experiments and data were added as requested and the revised manuscript was submitted two days before the deadline. It was accepted on the day of the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, which made me very happy. I feel that novelty is still key, not overly complex statistical methods. Judging from the manuscript status, it was likely one reviewer's negative feedback at the initial review, yet the editor did not want to give up and added another reviewer. The final outcome was very satisfying, thanks to Professor Vincent for the approval!

#COVID19# I've been reading the submission guidelines for two days and I'm wondering why they ask for 4-6 figs? Is this true? I've seen recent publications with only one or two figs, maybe two or three. Can someone help answer this, thanks
