A PPB classic Q2 journal. The review is relatively fast. The first review took 40 days, a minor revision was suggested, and it was revised and submitted a week later, and then got accepted. The editor processed it very timely, the two reviewers were very professional, which was very useful for improving the article. It is hoped that the journal will also be ranked into Q2 in the wide subject field category, and the impact factor will continue to rise.

It is a classical journal of botany in Q2. The speed was relatively fast: 07.09, submitted; 08.10, the comments were returned, and major revision was required. I replied several pages of comments one by one. There were 3 reviewers; 09.03, the revised manuscript was submitted; it was published online in October.

Excuse me, who knows that after submitting to Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, after revision according to the experts’ opinions, it has been one months, but there is no result, is it going to be rejected? This journal is not very fast either, and it has been 4 months.

The review speed was faster than expected; my paper was revised twice and then accepted. I didn’t expect it to be accepted so soon. This journal is still more rigorous about the format of the paper, so make sure your paper is formatted correctly before submission.

Can PPB not recommend reviewers now?

Excuse me, how is it going back there? I suspect I have encountered the same disgusting editor as you.

As a non-OA top journal in the second district, the review speed is considered quite fast. The review comments came back in just one month. The reviewers asked for additional experimental data, which took a month to collect. After resubmitting the revised manuscript, only minor revisions were requested before acceptance. The Impact Factor of PPB has also remained stable above 6 in the past two years, and we hope to push it into the first district.

The first sci, to commemorate, was submitted in May of 23, rejected in the second round and resubmitted, rejected again at the end of the year. After making some improvements, it was submitted again in December of 24 and went online yesterday. The entire process improved my article, and I am grateful for the very professional advice given by the reviewer of another journal, which made my article more complete. Thanks to ppb, editors and reviewers, and I wish ppb continued success!!

The speed is acceptable, the comments on the manuscript are pertinent, and the acceptance will be around 4 months.

Not bro, I have made three changes from September 24th to now and you still want me to make minor adjustments, what do you mean?

(0) Thank | 单调区间

The first review could not find a reviewer all along, and after waiting for five months, it was directly rejected but encouraged to resubmit (minor revisions, major revisions), after one month of modifications and replying to all comments, resubmission was made. Now, because of the inability to find a reviewer or the reviewer has run away, it has been more than four months and still in under review status, what should I do??? Seriously wronged, be cautious in submitting, feeling that small authors have no rights...

The article has been accepted. PPB has two publication modes. Initially, OA was chosen. Currently, only decisions on accepted manuscripts are being made. In the future, we may switch to a traditional subscription model. Can this be changed? Does anyone know?
