Canadian Journal of Diabetes

The submission guidelines were fairly straightforward, and the submission process was pretty good! However, the review time is not very quick.

Straightforward submission and minimal reviewer comments, though approval/rejection response time can be quite delayed

Very very slow from submission to peer review (4mo+) but fortunately very free pre submission requests or edits

I have had 2 very good experiences with CJD. Very quick review process, limited formatting requests, very knowledgeable reviewers. For both papers, I can actually say the review process highly improved the papers. However, the impact factor has dropped a bit in 2022.
