The article was accepted after major revision. A total of 7 months lasted from submission to acceptance. We chose the non-OA. The review was very strict, the opinions given by each expert were very valuable, and very helpful to improve the quality of the article. Although the impact factor has dropped a little this year, I believe that it will definitely increase in the future. I hope that the journal will get better and better.

Submitted on 21st July 2021, a reminder was sent three months after submission, and the feedback from the editor was prompt. Received minor revisions on 22nd November 2021, and three months later, a reminder was sent again. A reminder letter was sent every week, totaling 4 reminders, but the editor did not respond to any of them. One week after sending the final reminder letter, it showed as received on 29th March 2022. The entire submission process lasted for 8 months. Please be cautious when submitting articles if you urgently need them

Have you received any response from the editor regarding your reminder letter? It has been 4 months since my first submission and 3 and a half months since minor revision. I have sent three reminder letters already, but the editor has not replied. I am feeling really sad

The introduction should outline the difficulties you want to address and the questions you want to answer, summarizing existing research and gaps in knowledge

(0) Thank | 维尔娜菲茨杰拉德

Introduction is mainly focused on identifying the unresolved issues and the innovative or valuable aspects of one's own research. The Discussion section, on the other hand, involves a detailed comparison and analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of one's research results in relation to previous studies. The emphasis of the two sections is different

Still under review, it's really slow. It has been over 2 months since it's under review, but there is no news at all. How about yours? Any changes now?

(0) Thank | 京城博耘

I was also under consideration at the beginning, and it took a month before I moved to under review. It should be sent for external review now. So your article has not been reviewed yet, this journal is too slow

(0) Thank | 京城博耘

It seems to have been under consideration since the submission. Has it already been sent to external review?

(0) Thank | 璃沙湛雨

Having been under review means it is being externally audited, under consideration generally means the external audit result has come back and is now in the hands of the editor. There should be a result soon

Is "under consideration" indicating that it is being sent for external review?

Review speed: 3.0 | Submission acceptance rate: 75.0 Experience sharing: Submitted an article on June 19th this year, with one reminder email sent in the middle. The first round of external review required major revisions in February, and the second round of external review required minor revisions close to two months. The third round of revisions were accepted after one week of minor revisions, and it has already been published online today. Overall, the editors have a good attitude, are very responsible and attentive, and are able to identify many small mistakes. The oncology section where the article was submitted is complex, with many files. The external review period is a bit long, but efficiency improves after minor revisions. The editors are prompt in communicating via email when issues arise. The publication fee is on the higher side at $3,000. Those without funding should think carefully before submitting

Research focus: Immunotherapy 
Experience sharing: Low efficiency, not recommended for submission. 
Internal review takes 1-1.5 weeks, external review takes 1-1.5 months, and it takes 2.5 months to receive a response after major revision, with two reminders sent. Possibly due to the pandemic
