They highlight the rigorous and objective review process, the support provided by the editorial staff, and the visibility and impact of papers published in society journals. They also mention that society journals often have faster publication times compared to private journals.<br /><br />The editors address common pitfalls in paper submissions, such as making exaggerated claims that are not supported by the data, and not adequately addressing the reviewers' comments.
