I watched as it dropped from the top of Zone 2 all the way to Zone 3, and now it has become Zone 4. It's really unbelievable.

Food and Chemical Toxicology, a few years ago, the former editor-in-chief Domingo resigned angrily, followed by a large number of associate editors and editorial board members. Furthermore, FCT has become the journal of the ZG Toxicology Society, with over 50% of articles authored by ZG authors each year. As a result, it has dropped from being a top-tier journal to a third-tier one, feeling like it has been manipulated by the Chinese. It used to be the top journal in toxicology, ranked first globally, but now it is in such a sorry state. Who is to blame? Is it the profit-driven publishing house, or something else?

When submitting manuscripts to a selected journal, initially in the top tier for review, but then dropped to the non-top tier after submission, I never expected this to happen!!! The review process is quite lengthy.

Waited for 5 months to say that they couldn't find reviewers, then directly rejected the submission... Serious delay for graduation

I can't believe it has changed to Zone 3. I started voting for Zone 1, I really didn't expect this

9.16 was repaired again, and each time only 1-2 new issues were raised. However, each repair takes 10 days to receive a response. The editor is about to suffocate from frustration

Two reviewers' comments, revised and under review (one reviewer), after half a month with editor, under review again on the same day (another reviewer). Does anyone know what this means?

The most interesting thing is that the first author is an international doctoral student whose native language is English (from Zimbabwe). Therefore, I didn't make major changes to the initial draft as long as it was understandable. I thought the language was a bit verbose, but I didn't make significant changes to the wording. However, during the first round of review, an expert pointed out hundreds of grammar, typing, and fluency errors, suggesting that we seek professional translation services to improve the language. Our team, relying on my writing skills in English, which I believe are not inferior to native speakers, has never sought professional English editing before, and this time was no exception. After revising our scientific questions and responses, I critically reviewed the entire text with a strict spirit, and some paragraphs were completely transformed. After the revisions, the second-round expert said there was a significant improvement, and the editor did not mention any language issues again.

The chief editor personally handled it and also sought assistance from a deputy chief editor from China. It feels friendly and impartial.

Why has my submission been "with editor" for a month?

(0) 讚！ | 361du

The translation of the text into English is as follows: 

Initially, it started with editing for revision, and then submitted to the editor for review. After three days, it went into the "under review" stage. However, after 1.5 months, it was directly rejected. I didn't understand why the experts' feedback only suggested minor revisions. Then, the editor recommended a toxicology-related journal that was not an SCI (Science Citation Index) journal. After rejecting the transfer, it was directly rejected. If it didn't meet the criteria from the beginning, why bother with peer review?
