1. Editorial transfer criteria Although I appreciate the opportunity to publish my work in the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology, I found the editorial transfer process difficult to understand. I was informed that my manuscript did not meet the World Journal of Gastroenterology requirement because it did not receive the required combination of reviewer grades (AAA/AAB/ABB). However, I have observed other manuscripts published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology with reviewer grades that appeared comparable or lower. I believe the editorial criteria for journal transfer should be applied more transparently and consistently so that authors can better understand the basis for editorial decisions. 2.Consistency of the rereview report The rereview report appeared to contain an internal inconsistency. The reviewer stated, "The author satisfactorily replied to my doubts," "It is a well-written manuscript," and provided the final recommendation of "Accept." However, the detailed evaluation grades remained Grade E (Do not publish) for several scientific categories. This discrepancy could be confusing to both authors and readers, particularly because the peer review reports are published alongside the article. A consistency check before publication would improve the transparency and credibility of the review process. 3.AI detection process I fully support transparency regarding the use of AI tools. However, despite providing an AI contribution statement and clarifying that the manuscript was prepared by the author, with references independently verified and formatted using EndNote, I received repeated requests related to AI detection. Considering that AI detection reports themselves acknowledge the possibility of false-positive results, I hope the journal can place greater emphasis on author disclosure and editorial judgment rather than relying primarily on AI detection scores. 4.Timing of the journal transfer The decision to transfer the manuscript from the World Journal of Gastroenterology to the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology was communicated only after completion of the peer-review process and substantial revision. If the editorial office determines that a manuscript is more suitable for another journal within the publishing group, an earlier transfer decision could reduce unnecessary revision workload and improve the publication experience for authors.
