Verified Reviews
This article was previously submitted to several journals but was not accepted due to various reasons, wasting more than half a year. Only I know the bitterness I experienced during this time. I am grateful for the tolerance of this journal. I used to think that it was a bit mediocre, but this time, I could feel the reviewers' level of expertise through their feedback. Their suggestions were targeted and helpful for improving the article. Through my first article in life, I have gained some insights. Whether a journal is good or not depends on the overall environment of your laboratory. If your laboratory is top-notch, fellow researchers may look down on submitting to this kind of journal, and naturally, you may consider it mediocre. However, if your laboratory's level is average and you can finally publish one article in this journal through your own efforts, it is still a reward for your hard work. I wish you all good luck and hope you can be successfully accepted by a journal that matches your article's quality.
