Motivation: Oncogene is a very good journal in regards to scientific information. The journal handles the article very sincerely without any bias and the reviewers read the article very carefully. The time from submission to acceptance is also very reasonable but takes long to put on the pubmed. I would like to communicate my articles to this journal in future too.

Motivation: After publishing in several other journals, the overall experience in working with JPC-C was eye-opening. Not only were the referee reports in total, as well as their criticism relevant (something that can sadly not be expected from certain other journals), but they also arrived fast. Interaction with the editing staff was flawless and uncomplicated.

I can only recommend JPC-C to everyone.
