今天有粉丝在后台留言说:向Frontiers in Oncology投稿的时候被该期刊主编告知:Frontiers in Oncology不再接收纯生信数据挖掘类文章(没有实验验证的)。具体邮件说明如下:
I am sorry for the delay in assessing your manuscript.However, Frontiers in Oncology no longer accepts manuscripts that are based on pure bioinformatic analysis of public databases without proper validation.
Frontiers in Oncology的影响因子:4.848,中科院最新分区:3区,OA期刊,一直以来都是对纯生信数据挖掘比较友好的。NLM Catalog查看的信息如下:

从上面的信息可以看出该期刊成立于2011年,已经有了10年的发展,近几年都有大量接收纯生信数据挖掘类文章,一直受到国内临床医生的喜爱。不过该期刊突然不接收纯生信,估计国内作者的发文热度将大大下降,因为靠生信吃饭的人实在太多了,可能该期刊实在顶不住了,就好比当年dove系列期刊将不再接收meta分析一样。看来,以后生信+实验验证是发展的大趋势。
