“This was my first time submitting to IJMS. I was particularly impressed by the speed and efficiency of the review process and especially the very short delay from acceptance to publishing. This was not due to the editor cutting corners; I saw that the manuscript had been extensively edited for the proofs and the phrasing had in most cases been improved. The editorial team also noticed a number of small errors that had escaped our and the reviewers’ notice. Publishing with IJMS has been a very positive experience, and I will certainly give this journal consideration as a venue for future publications.”
