I was asked to revise my paper several times. One reviewer accepted it; the other reviewer said the research methods were inadequate but couldn’t give us any rational explanation. This reviewer would not accept the paper no matter what we say, so the paper was eventually rejected. I have seen comments posted by others saying this is a disrespectful journal. I totally agree.

I replied to one myself, and now there is another "review is ongoing" today. What's going on?

Indeed, the reviewers all agreed, but the editorial department rejected it.

Currently, Frontiers is facing a public opinion battle. They reject you for any reason, template rejection, without giving you any clear explanation. Be cautious before investing!

221202 submission, 230131 acceptance. There were 4 reviewers: 1 reject, 1 acceptance, and the other 2 requested minor revisions. After answering the reviewers' questions regarding the minor revisions, the paper was accepted. The initial reject reviewer did not respond. After another week, the editor decided to publish the paper. The overall efficiency was fast!

The following text translates to English as: "Demands for innovation are necessary; the reviewers and editors are very efficient. After making the necessary revisions, it only took 2 days for them to accept the submission."

An article on cell regeneration has been accepted for submission. Currently, I am revising another article related to single-cell sequencing. The suggestions from the two reviewers are acceptable this time. The first one is particularly professional and provided many useful suggestions. The second one seems to have less understanding of single-cell sequencing, but still gave some helpful advice. It will probably take two weeks to make the revisions. I haven't returned to my home country yet, so I'm not sure why people in China think Frontiers is not very reputable. Is it because there are too many Chinese researchers? However, I see very few comments on Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience here.

Issues related to experiments and article writing

If possible, try to supplement the experiment. If not, carefully consider reasons for defense, but a modest and cautious tone is essential. After all, there is a certain rejection rate even for major revisions

What questions do reviewers and journal editors typically ask?

(0) Thank | 八坂篷蔚

The reviewers requested me to conduct additional experiments, but my samples have already been used up or the experiment has ended. Will my paper be rejected if I directly state that my samples have been used up?

Review speed: 3.0 | Submission hit rate: 25.0 Experience sharing: Be cautious about submitting. The first review took nearly 2 months, with three reviewers. One of them did not take it seriously and the editor cancelled their review. The other two gave scores of 3-5. However, one of them was hinting at citing a specific review, possibly their own article. The other one provided some irrelevant comments. It seemed like minor revisions were needed and felt okay at the time. After revising, waited for another month, and suddenly both reviewers' attitudes changed drastically, with only a simple rejection saying that it did not meet their expectations. Impression: The review period is too long, reviewers' levels and attitudes are inconsistent, and there may be potential conflicts of interest

How long does a typical data review take?

(0) Thank | Sandy Bellamy

Almost the same, that's how I am, at first I didn't reject, gave two small edits, one edit was returned and the other was marked as inactive, it's a trap, not recommended to invest, wasted 4 months

Review speed: 3.0 | Submission acceptance rate: 5.0 Experience sharing: Be cautious when submitting to this journal. If you have enough time, feel free to submit. I submitted in August and was not rejected at first. I received minor revisions on October 20th, made the revisions, but then one of the reviewers became inactive. Similar to what others have shared before, it wasn't until December 6th that I was rejected directly. This journal is very unprofessional
