“We have recently published the paper “ABC Transporters and Their Role in the Neoadjuvant Treatment of Esophageal Cancer“ in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. We have had excellent experience with the whole process of the paper submission, communication with the editor and editorial process. The interval between submission and paper publication was less than three weeks which is outstanding. We will definitely consider submission of another paper to this journal.”

“My lab recently published two invited review articles for special issues in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, one on the structural aspects of chemokines and the other on galectins in cancer. These experiences were excellent. The editors and staff at IJMS were all professional, the review process was rapid, and the user-friendly editorial phase worked flawlessly. I will certainly consider this Journal for publication of my scientific research papers in the future.”

“Recently, I was asked to contribute a review article, entitled “Electron Microscopic Recording of the Power and Recovery Strokes of Individual Myosin Heads Coupled with ATP Hydrolysis: Facts and Implications”, to a special issue of IJMS. As I am an old, retired professor, I encountered series difficulties in preparing illustrations from my papers. However, the editors kindly prepared high quality illustrations for me from my published reprints. I very much appreciate their kind help, as well as their rapid management in obtaining reviewers comments, which were fair and instructive. I will recommend my friends to submit papers to IJMS.”

“In modern scientific world it is sometimes hard for researchers to timely publish their valuable results. The peer review process could take up to 6 months before reaching a first decision. Such delays are not welcomed by funding agencies and can postpone the timely project reporting. It was my first experience with IJMS and I was very comfortable to get my work published in less than 50 days. Interestingly, I was able to communicate with the editorial staff if encountered any problem throughout the publication process. Personally I think the peer review process is ideal in IJMS and could be followed by other journals. I would recommend to opt this journal based on one's results.”

“I had started writing my review unsure of its destination journal. When I was approached by the guest editors of the IJMS special issue on plant cell wall proteins it was an apparent choice. Submission was extremely fast and simple compared to many other journals (30 minutes at max.). Given the length of my MS, the initial review was relatively fast (ca. 4 weeks). The following revisions and edits were mostly straightforward because the MS had already been correctly formatted. A minor problem during the proof phase was a confusion of the order of references. However, after my call for help to the editor, this was fixed in a breeze. Taken together, publishing in IJMS was a thoroughly pleasant experience.”

“Recently, I was asked to contribute a review article to a special issue of IJMS about plant-pathogen interactions. From the beginning I had very nice and professional contacts with the editorial office and the Editor. I appreciated so much the rapidity and efficiency of peer review process. The ms was reviewed by 3 referees and their suggestions were very helpful in improving it. The ms was published within a month from the first submission. I also appreciated the discount on publication fees following my activity as reviewer for IJMS.”
