Verified Reviews
The review process took about 20 days, with three reviewers providing over twenty comments. One reviewer suggested minor revisions, while the other two did not express their opinions. The editor's attitude was unclear, only stating that they would consider revisions and providing a 21-day revision period. After that, I conducted additional experiments and included 5 additional data points in the revised manuscript. The second round of review had no issues according to two reviewers, but one reviewer insisted on an explanation of the specific mechanism. The editor granted another 21 days, and I supplemented two additional comparative experiments to further support my findings. Finally, the manuscript was accepted directly.
Overall, the quality has improved after the revisions. If the supplementary experiments are included in the main text, there is a good chance for publication in a top-tier journal. However, my previous submissions to three top journals were rejected, which delayed my progress for nearly half a year. Therefore, I chose to submit to Col sur A out of urgency to graduate. I express my gratitude to Editor Xuehai Yan for their high efficiency.
This is my first SCI paper as a master's student, and it is unlikely that I will have another SCI publication in my life. I wish everyone smooth submissions and the continued success of Col sur A!
