The box shows the middle half of each journal's papers and the dark line its median. *Impact factor: 2-year citedness from OpenAlex open data, 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.
Source, method and date. Source: the received and accepted dates that publishers deposit with each article in Crossref. Method: 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 whose publisher does not deposit 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.

By median days from submission to acceptance: Water Environment Research (80 days); Water Conservation Science and Engineering (82 days); Remediation Journal (85 days). Source: dates deposited by the publishers in Crossref, updated 29 October 2026.

Is a fast review journal in Engineering, Environmental 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.

Where do these review times come from?

From the received and accepted dates that publishers deposit in Crossref, the scholarly publication registry. ScholarsColab takes the median for each journal over its research articles of the last 24 months. Updated 29 October 2026.
