| Try portable peer review from GENETICS and G3 |
Has your manuscript been reviewed at another journal only for you to find out it wasn’t the right fit? Streamline your next steps with portable peer review at GENETICS or G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics. Editors can request the reviews and your Response to Reviewers from the previous journal to help facilitate the decision-making process and increase the efficiency of peer review.
