The box shows the middle half of each journal's papers and the dark line its median. *Impact factor: 2-year citedness calculated by ScholarsColab, not the official Clarivate value.

Want an expert to shortlist fast-review journals that match your manuscript? Journal Selection & Submission picks up to 5 journals for your paper and handles the submission. Avoid a rejection that adds months: a Manuscript Audit shows what reviewers will flag first.
For each journal, the days from received to accepted for its research articles of the last 24 months (at least 10 articles), then the median; journals without these dates are not listed. Updated: 29 October 2026, refreshed about every 3 months. Only accepted papers carry these dates, so rejections are not counted, and a journal may count from a different date. ScholarsColab is not affiliated with these journals.

Frequently asked questions

Which Automation & Control Systems journals have the fastest review?

By median days from submission to acceptance: Automation and Remote Control (75 days); International Journal of Dynamics and Control (102 days); IET Cyber-Systems and Robotics (102 days). Updated 29 October 2026.

Is a fast review journal in Automation & Control Systems a good choice?

Review time is one factor. Check the journal’s scope, indexing and impact factor too, and confirm it is not predatory: a very short review with no real reviewer comments is a warning sign. Journal pages on ScholarsColab show all of these together.

How are these review times calculated?

From the received and accepted dates of each research article. ScholarsColab takes the median for each journal over its research articles of the last 24 months. Updated 29 October 2026.
