The Innovation | Season’s Greeting: 我们这一年！
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Bye 2020, Hello 2021!
To whom it may concern,
We’d like to highly express our appreciation for your contribution to The Innovation on behalf of the Editorial Board. Thanks so much for your submission, peer review, handling, promotion, etc.
“The Innovation” launched in 2020 and rigorously follows the same peer review, editorial, and publishing standards of Cell. There are 168 Editorial members from 20 countries and > 45% of them are outside China, and their research interests cover all disciplines of science. We are pleased to announce that three Executive Editors of Oncology / Geoscience / Physics have been appointed. In 2020, three issues were published in May, August, and November. In 2021, four issues will be published in February, May, August, and November. A number of Editorial members submitted their articles to this journal and we highly appreciated it.
We really thank the authors who trust that the journal would be ranked as a top journal in the field of multidisciplinary sciences. We deeply thank the peer reviewers who demonstrated their professional judgment. We thank the teamwork from the Central Academy of Fine Arts for their qualified work to every figure. We thank the volunteers of next-generation scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and universities for their no salary effort. Last but not least, we highly valued the audiences of The Innovation for your interest in the journal and we expect you to send us your invaluable feedback and ideas for further improvement.
The Innovation has undergone rapid growth to become a rising star. To promote the published articles, we are applying a lot of social media, such as WeChat, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIin. National media from China, USA, and Australia reported the finding from Issue 1-3. One special case published in Issue 3 achieved > 1 million reading in 24 hours after it was reported by XinhuaNet. World Health Organization (WHO) and Pubmed Central indexed some of our articles. Also The Innovation has been accepted to these databases: DAOJ, ADS, Scopus. So far, more than 80% citations are outside of China. Not surprisingly, the rejection rate has risen sharply to 70%, and the standard sending for review is shifting from IF10+ to IF15+. It’s really something and we are encouraged to do more than that.
If you are looking for a high-quality publishing platform, The Innovation is a good example.
Have an exciting holiday season & wish all of us a great 2021.
Buxing Han, Ian Frazer, Kenneth J. Hsu, on behalf of The Innovation
