From submission to editorial rejection took 8 days. The editor did not give a clear reason of the rejection. According to the experience posted by other users, it is probably because that the data I analyzed are all public data, and I did not contribute any sequencing data. In terms of data, nobody will cite my study, so it was rejected without peer review. I just submitted to Nucleic Acid Research. I heard that papers will always go to peer review there; I’m going to believe it.

Hello! May I ask who your responsible editor is? It's been almost 10 months since I submitted my article, and I still don't know when the first round of review results will come back. I have sent many reminder emails, but there is no progress. It's too slow!

The review process is extremely slow, and the reviewers are not proactive. It took almost a year to finally have two reviewers provide relatively mild comments. I made the revisions as suggested, but the editor still rejected it directly!

It seems that there have been personnel adjustments recently, resulting in a shortage of manpower. Many influential figures in the industry are also criticizing the speed of this journal. The quality of the articles is high, and the reputation and influence are also good. However, the speed is really frustrating.

Mine is also the same. It has been 4 months and it is still under review. Don't invest in this.
