CCL: Publication in J.Comput.Chem: your experience...

Dear Tymofii,

This is very common problem with many journal editors, recently I had similar experience with POLYMER(Elsevier), where that one reviewer even didn't understand our work and finally same journal published same paper when I resubmitted as fresh submission again. So, I will suggest you to go for another better journal.
Best of luck,
Abhishek

Dear CCLers,

I'd highly appreciate you sharing your experience with
publishing in Wiley's Journal of Computational Chemistry.
Recently we received a decision letter from this journal
containing comments from a single reviewer only, and it

appeared enough for the editor to declined our manuscript.

Unfortunately, we have serious reasons to consider those

comments as being far from objective and unbiased.

Could someone please comment on whether it is typical
for such a journal to send a manuscript to a single

reviewer? As far as I know, all respectable journals typically

rely on recommendations from at least (!) two reviewers. Am I wrong?


Thank you in advance!
With my best wishes

P.S. The manuscript deals with a novel implementation of a
classical analys! is method to be used in conjunction with
ab initio program packages. It contains both explanation
of computational procedures and a sample application.
Maybe we should consider some other journal to publish
such a work?
