Review the manuscript and then accept comments. If you don't refuse, don't fix, don't accept, don't proff, and don't officially publish, there are probably several processes. Since 20 17, its old rival ScientificReports has published more articles than PLOSONE. The full name of PLOS is PublicLibraryofScience. Literally, it is to establish a virtual scientific research library under the network environment. PLOSONE is a comprehensive periodical under the publishing house, which was founded in 2006. Only 137 articles were published in the first year. PLOSONE, who is determined to be a super periodical, will continue to break through human imagination in the next few years. At the peak, the number of articles published in one year reached 3 1.502.
In recent years, PLOSONE has also tightened the number of periodicals published. JoergHeber, editor-in-chief of PLOSONE, believes that the shrinkage of periodicals has been affected by two aspects. First, the number of papers submitted by the author has decreased. On the other hand, the acceptance rate of periodicals is getting lower and lower. Looking up PLOSONE's China articles in recent years from SCI database, it is found that the total proportion is always below 20%. 20 14 years with a maximum of19.52%; In 20 15 years, it fell to18.19%; In 20 19, it was only 9.6%, far lower than that in the United States.
