| "The review process was prompt and objective with the reviewers' comments being critical and very useful. The Editorial office has been always helpful. The time from submission to first editorial decision (in less than two weeks) and to publication (in less than three months) is impressive...." (International Journal of Nanomedicine) Petras Juzenas Oslo University Hospital, Norway | |
 | "..I am so impressed with the professionalism of this journal and its people" (Veterinary Medicine: Research and Reports) |
"This was the best publishing experience I have encountered in my career. The fast turn around was amazing and appreciated...Keep up the excellent work!" (Journal of Healthcare Leadership) | |
 | "I enjoyed the discipline of Dove Medical Press. Everything was on its track, the submission process was easy and user friendly. The peer review process was fast but thorough, their comments were fair and assisted to improve the quality of my final manuscript. Dove Press staff were responsive and kind, and the most interesting for me, I was aware about the status of my manuscript every second. I really enjoyed working with you." (Clinical Ophthalmology) |
"...Three valuable points are worth noting about Dove Press: (1) The review process is engagingly prompt, though it is very accurate and constructive. (2) Every moment, Dove lets the author know about the status of the manuscript. Also, Dove Press staff are very polite and responsible. (3) Dove offers automatic discounts to authors from the developing world. This is an important incentive for such researchers to publish with Dove journals..." (Clinical Ophthalmology) | |
 | "The peer review was an excellent guide to improve my medical article. And I also would like to express my great appreciation for the prompt, courteous and professional assistance since the submission of my manuscript. It has been a pleasure working with Dovepress." (International Medical Case Reports Journal) Dr Shakil Ameerudden Tianjin Medical University, China |
 | "Thank you again for your assistance. This has been the best review process I have ever been through.” (Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment) |
| "All the people I had contact with from Dove were very friendly and it was an open, cordial and individual atmosphere - not so anonymous as one can find with other journals" (Infection and Drug Resistance) Michael Bröker, Germany | |
"The peer reviewers accepted a paper based on principles and secondary data, one which had been rejected, out of hand, by journals dependent on drug company advertising for the survival. The editor, Dr. Bluth advised that I get assistance from someone who could write and an expert in the field. I followed his advice. When I did that, the paper, which by then had a collaborator, was accepted within 24 hours and then constructive comments followed. I have never before met editors who cared enough about an issue to guide and amateur autodidact through this new discipline which had to be self taught in Australia. This was the best publishing experience I ever had. I only hope it can continue as we examine a large database of adversity on psychiatric drugs connected to genetics." (Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine) | |
