Verified Reviews
Overall, the process is relatively lengthy. However, this journal only publishes a little over 200 articles per year and has a strong reputation. Due to the low number of submissions from Chinese scholars, the impact factor is not high. Unlike NC, PNAS, and SA, which rely on luck in encountering good editors, Plos Biology is a very valuable professional journal. In Europe and America, many journals that were originally prepared to be submitted to CNS ended up being submitted to Plos Biology, mainly due to its professionalism. Therefore, getting published in a journal like this is really quite good.
