    Anyone (academic / researcher) had recent experience with submitting to #ScienceAdvances (science.org/journal/sciadv)? Good or bad?

    We submitted there about 3 months ago and heard absolutely nothing since then..

    #SciRev does not have many reviews of that journal for 2025: scirev.org/reviews/science-adv
    (BTW, please try to comment on your submission experience on there when you can!)

    Edit: we got reviews back! It was just radio silence between submission and now, and maybe our submission had been forgotten and they were reminded of it when we emailed, or it just naturally took a while, who knows.

    Looking into #ScienceAdvances as a journal to publish in..
    Why is there a reference limit, and why is it so low (80 references)? In this day and age? For an online-only journal?

    PS: remember that you can rate the submission & revision process of journals on #SciRev scirev.org/

    #Academia publication question:
    What was the website where you see and can give feedback on specific journals (like time to decision, if your manuscript was accepted or not, were the reviews useful, etc)?
    Internet is useless to find things these days.

    Edit: @steveroyle found it! It's called Scirev

    @Emiliagnathus @academicchatter I would complain to the journal's editors and also write to the publisher. Other than that, I don't know what can be done. Maybe you can leave a review on #SciRev so that more people can know about the unethical practices of the journal (even though not many people know about SciRev).

    CW: Academic publishing rant

    @dantheclamman There have been attempts but nothing too big so far. I think the closest one was #SciRev: scirev.org/

    Here is another example: journalreviewer.org/

    It is a shame that evaluating journals didn't become the norm. It is especially important for early career scholars working in Global South like me, since we don't know much about these journals and the involved people. Making journal experiences public would really help.
