It has nothing to do with Guangzhou. The speed is fast, the editor is also very responsible, and the review comments given are also very good. I wish the domestic journals can do better and better.

This is a domestic journal, many people from my department (Radiology) have submitted to it. With personal connections, they are surely accepted, but the contents are average. You will be clear about it as soon as you look at the self-citation rate.

Review speed: 2.0 | Submission acceptance rate: 75.0 Emphasis on research direction: sharing experiences in thoracic surgery: It took a total of 4 months from submission to acceptance; major revisions were requested two months after the external review, followed by a minor revision about 3 weeks later, and then it was accepted. Because it is a domestic journal, the editors are friendly and communication is mainly through email, with no major obstacles

Submitted an article in April this year, accepted in August, after 4 months. It is a pure clinical article, the journal is unbiased towards articles and focuses on quality. Maybe it was a bit mediocre in the past, but the quality has gradually improved now. I recommend everyone to submit articles. Some thoughts:
1. Submission requires signing an academic integrity commitment and hospital stamp, as well as an ethics number, the requirements are strict. Everyone needs to be prepared before submitting, but this is also a common academic practice that should be done.
2. The first review took about 2 months, with 3 reviewers giving 2 weeks for revisions, the reviewers were very professional and thorough, pointing out over twenty issues. It really improved the article a lot. The second review was quick, less than a month, followed by acceptance and proofreading.
3. The page charge is around 10,000 yuan, considered average.
4. The Impact Factor decreased from 3 to 2.5, which is quite frustrating

Should the figures for this journal be included at the end of the article or submitted separately in a standalone file?

Focused research direction: Surgery; Clinical experience sharing: Submitted an article in April this year, accepted in August, took 4 months. It's a purely clinical article, the journal has no biases, just looks at the quality of the article. Maybe it was a bit mediocre before, but the quality has gradually improved now. I recommend everyone to submit. 
Some thoughts: 1. Submission requires signing an academic integrity commitment letter and hospital stamp, as well as an ethics number, requirements are strict, everyone needs to be prepared before submitting. However, this is also a academic norm, something that should already be done. 2. The first review took about 2 months, with 3 reviewers and 2 weeks for revisions, very professional and serious reviewers, with more than twenty questions in total. It did significantly improve the article. The second review was fast, taking less than a month, followed by acceptance and proofing. 3. Page fees are around ten thousand, considered average. 4. The impact factor has decreased, from 3 to 2.5, quite angry. 5. I see comments asking about various tables placements, and when to submit the checklist, I recommend paying attention to the instructions, it's all written there

Advertisement, don't invest in this junk, whether it's ATS or not. Domestic magazines, whether it's sci or core, value relationships, the reputation of the units, and the level of funding

The domestic journals in China are quite speechless, as editors seem to focus more on low-quality papers from Western authors (a bit of Western worship) and articles from key domestic institutions and renowned hospitals, being cautious about submissions from ordinary institutions
