“The invitation to contribute to the special Life issue on ‘The Origins and Early Evolution of RNA’ came at a very opportune time for me. Recent results from my lab in several areas had pointed to a new synthesis of interests I had developed over forty years. Writing the manuscript thus came naturally and allowed me to consider my research in a broader context. It was therefore an exciting experience to produce the manuscript. The Editors were most helpful and the peer review was pleasantly timely, thorough, and constructive. The reviewers’ suggestions allowed me to clarify, correct omissions I had made, and opened new directions that were consistent with what I hoped to accomplish with the manuscript.”

Based on the comments, I could tell that all three reviewers of our manuscript are experts in the relevant fields of research. The editorial staff also responded to my emails and requests promptly.”

“I very much am of the same opinion regarding the “prompt and positive peer review process” of the journal Life, as is reflected in most of the other comments here. The review process was efficient and, I must insist, positive. The overall comments for our article were good. One reviewer, however, had a disagreement with the way our story was pitched. After one round of revision, when the disagreement persisted, the reviewer took the time to explain where he was coming from rather than treating our disagreement with negativity (we did get admonished a bit in the process)! This was refreshing, to say the least, and led to a revision in the ‘pitch of the story’ which, I must say, made our article more complete. We look forward to having a long and fruitful relationship with the journal! We appreciate the prompt responses from the editorial office. Finally, thanks to the EiC and Guest Editor for the opportunity that eventually led us to be a part of this special issue.”
