The advantage is that the speed is really fast, and now the submission process is quite user-friendly. In the early stages, relying on low publishing volume, sequencing articles, reviews, and methods from the company to increase the impact factor was very impressive. Currently, the reputation and influence seem to be relatively poor, becoming a self-boosting journal for Chinese people. However, the requirements for experimental articles are still quite high, either in terms of communication or data volume.

Hello, is "Under review" after submission mean it has been sent for review?

Sharing my submission experience in iMeta journal:
March 20, 2024, submitted
April 8, 2024, rejected
Feedback from three reviewers, editorial department suggested revisions according to their comments and encouraged resubmission.
July 25, 2024, resubmitted after revisions
August 12, 2024, minor revisions
August 14, 2024, accepted
September 3, 2024, published online.

The review speed and editorial feedback were very fast, and the reviewers were professional. iMeta is a domestic microbiology and bioinformatics journal with an impact factor of 20+, striving to become a top domestic microbiology journal and enhance the influence of Chinese researchers in the field of microbiology. Looking forward to future developments!

Currently, the impact factor is mainly boosted by methodological articles and a large number of non-research articles and reviews. Journals have both good and average articles, but this is the reality, after all, luck is also a part of strength. The editor's tastes are unpredictable, and manuscripts are rejected after several reviewers give clear suggestions for revisions. However, the journal is very fast, making it convenient to submit to other journals. I also wish the journal to improve more and more in the future, and hope to publish an article in it!
