They charge more than 3000$ of APC ; then forget to include your abstract and upload the wrong version of your figure. I will try to have this fixed asap but this is *annoying*
This is day and night with the recent experience I had Royal Society Open Science (3 rounds of proof checking)

Multiple single-case analyses showed that most participants benefited from the intervention through a reduction in social anxiety symptoms and problematic gaming symptoms, although to varying degrees. Assertiveness and self-concepts were not improved. This is an exemple of single case analysis

This is a quasi-experimental multiple single-case design with a three-week baseline across groups (4 groups of 5 gamers) and a 3-month follow-up. Primary outcomes were gaming disorder symptoms and social anxiety symptoms. Secondary outcomes were assertiveness, self-concepts and perceived loneliness

We tested the feasibility and initial effect of a structured protocol in which socially anxious online gamers are exposed to real-life social interactions while playing a #TTRPG (Dungeons & Dragons) in the context of a protocol taking place in 10 weeks and involving 10 consecutive sessions.
