Frequently asked questions
Which Engineering, Multidisciplinary journals have the fastest review?
By median days from submission to acceptance: Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences (63 days); Instruments and Experimental Techniques (74 days); Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention (79 days). Source: dates deposited by the publishers in Crossref, updated 28 October 2026.
Is a fast review journal in Engineering, Multidisciplinary 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 28 October 2026.
