This year, the impact factor is close to 8, directly surpassing renowned journals such as PLOS Pathogens and mBio. Let's analyze the specific reasons below.

The article "Bayesian phylogenetic and phylodynamic data integration using BEAST 1.10" contributed 392 citations as a tool article, while the total number of citable items was 95. In other words, this tool article contributed 4.13 to the impact factor of 8. This journal is therefore at a 3-point level.

The reviewers of this magazine have serious political bias. They openly comment on China's territorial issues and have malicious intentions towards the articles. I have already complained to the editorial department. Although the impact factor is gradually increasing, I do not recommend submitting manuscripts and strongly condemn it.
