The review process at Phytomedicine is frustrating and unprofessional. The only feedback one typically receives is a brief statement that the article does not fit the aim and scope of the journal. This lack of transparency and constructive criticism wastes valuable time for researchers. Rather than providing specific guidance or engaging with the content of the submission, the journal dismisses articles with little explanation. Given this, I would not recommend wasting your time on Phytomedicine. There are far more professional and responsive journals to consider.
