Domestic partition drives people crazy. Everyone is spinning around the baton, spinning their hats. No one is seriously engaging in scientific research

elife is also good, I have published an article there. Its positioning should be on par with PC and NAR, but the culture within the community is quite serious

NAR and PLANT Cell are currently considered to be the top two journals in many foreign botanical laboratories. NAR is a classic old journal with a good reputation, influence, and rigor. It also has a high impact factor. Cell reports is far behind. I don't understand why NAR was ranked in the second quartile

Sharing Three Submission Experiences. We work on plants.
The first article was rejected by Plant Cell, rejected after review by NAR, rejected by NCB with a referral to a smaller NC, and finally published in NC.
The second article was rejected after review by Plant Cell, we submitted directly to NCB and successfully referred to a smaller NC, and finally published smoothly.
The third article followed the same routine, first Plant Cell, then NAR and then referred to a smaller NC, finally published successfully.

Seeing the promotion of journal recognition makes me speechless. Professional journals and these so-called comprehensive journals have different considerations. PC and NAR look at the driving force for the discipline, while PNAS, SA, NC, etc. look at whether they can generate discussion. Those in research look at professional journals, while those in business look at comprehensive journals. Each to their own needs

@ Donghai Pingya, is the acceptance rate lower than cell reports? Are you serious? What is the acceptance rate of cell reports? Generally, we only consider cell reports after our NAR PC rejection. I can't be bothered to argue with you about the acceptance rate of NAR compared to PNAS, as the former is a professional journal while the latter caters more to the general public. If you want to say it's even worse than cell reports, that's really pushing it. Most of the articles in Cell reports, NC, and SA are just fluff, whereas which article in NAR, aside from special issues, is just fluff?

The submission process is as follows: submit in September 2023, receive reviewer comments in about a month with around 70 issues, and given half a year for revisions; receive another round of reviewer comments before the Chinese New Year in February 2024 after a month. Receive second round of comments in early March 2023, with not many comments but still given half a year for revisions. Return in early April 2023 and directly accepted without external review. Our research is relatively niche, but highly innovative, and we are quite confident in this study. We have submitted to countless journals, including domestic ones, and have been rejected. We also submitted to journals with lower impact factors than NAR like EMBO J, PNAS, and were rejected as well. NAR editors are very professional, and I feel that my research aligns well with their direction, so I am happy to be recognized. Finally, although it is not ideal to publish in NAR, I am still very satisfied

This section is really killer, funny enough the recognition at school is not even as good as Cell Reports

I just got a tenure-track AP position at a state university ranking 40-50 in the US, with just two publications in NAR last year. Many others with subpublications didn't even get an interview. And I got placed in the second round, this is

The Chinese Academy of Sciences is a joke

High influence, good reputation. And the threshold is also very high. Chinese people mostly publish articles on resources or tools. There are very few research papers published by Chinese people, because nucleic acid testing still requires technical expertise. Not everyone can do it.

Saying that NAR research paper has low citation is truly not understanding academia. Articles that anyone can understand will naturally have high citation. NAR's articles have a high threshold; you probably can't understand them or don't have the patience to read them, so of course the citation is low. This is almost negatively correlated with the level of the journal and the level of the article

Has your submission been reviewed?

My editorial email reply has already been sent to find reviewers, but the status is still "editorial review." What's going on?

It has been a week since I submitted my manuscript, but it still shows "in editorial review". However, it has already been sent for review. Why has the status not changed?

Family members have encountered a situation where the submission has been stuck in editorial review for a long time. Has nobody reviewed it?

Just submitted, the editor sent an email saying, "has been received and potential peer reviewers are now being invited to examine the study. Good luck!"

In the European and American circles, NAR still has a strong reputation. Some trendy labs are starting to focus on NC, but labs with profound background still lean more towards NAR

Papers on NAR basic research are so awesome. Almost all of them are hardcore experiments. The threshold is very high. Why are they classified as second-tier? Is it because there are too few people in China who can understand them?
