Journal of Translational Medicine

Submitted on November 22nd, the paper focuses on single-cell and wet experiments. A few days later, it was sent for review with two reviewers. After about a month, one of the reviewers withdrew the manuscript, possibly due to being outside their field of expertise. It took another week to find a new reviewer. The third reviewer took a month to review the paper.

On February 23rd, the editor provided major revisions, but in reality, they were minor. After adding a mechanism diagram and some discussion, the revised paper was sent back and accepted in just one week.

Overall, the process was very fast. Within a month of review, if it wasn't for one reviewer withdrawing, the first review results would have been received within a month. The questions and suggestions raised by the reviewers were professional and significantly improved the article's quality. Considering it is an 8-point journal, it is considered quite good.

I submitted once in 2019, submitted on 24th April 2019, and was accepted on 5th July 2019. It was a clinical observational study that went through minor revisions, taking a total of 2-3 months. The overall speed was relatively fast. On 6th July 2022, I submitted another article, which is a clinical prospective cohort study. The editorial review process took about 5 days, and it has just been sent for external review, so the outcome is still unknown. The overall pace is considered fast. Additionally, the impact factor (IF) has increased significantly this year, so it is uncertain whether I will be able to successfully publish.
