what is the flagship *diamond* #openaccess journal in the fields of #cheminformatics and/or #bioinformatics ?
1. flagship := solid peer review, good editorial standards, innovative, etc (and I care about citations to our work, not JIFs)
2. diamond := zero APC and not prepaid APC

@egonw a pity that there are no answers. I would say JOSS, but I am yet to experience the review and think it is a bit too generic. Some years ago I approached the editors of BMC Bioinformatics on quality issues - and got no feedback. A review on one of my papers back in the day was ... too quick, to be honest. And it has by no means a zero APC. This is, where my hypothesis settled: APC go together with superficial review. This hypothesis has yet to be falsified. Although I concede, that my sampling on own submissions and hearsay is scarce.
