The 300 fastest of 759 journals are shown. The box shows the middle half of each journal's papers and the dark line its median, on a scale from 0 to at least a year. *Impact factor: 2-year citedness from OpenAlex open data, not the official Clarivate value. Quartiles are not shown until the official JCR or SJR quartile can be. Indexing from the SCIE, SSCI, AHCI, ESCI, Scopus and JCR lists, matched by name.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Which Life Sciences and Biology journals have the fastest review?

By median days from submission to acceptance: HLA (14 days); Doklady Biochemistry and Biophysics (20 days); Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry (27 days). Source: dates deposited by the publishers in Crossref, updated 29 October 2026.

Are there fast Q1 journals in Life Sciences and Biology?

The journals here are ranked by review time only. To check whether one of them is Q1, look up its quartile in Clarivate's Journal Citation Reports (Web of Science categories) or on Scimago (SJR, Scopus categories); each journal's page on ScholarsColab explains where its quartile is published.

How do I find a fast Life Sciences and Biology journal for my own paper?

Paste your title or abstract in the ScholarsColab Journal Finder and set the review time, indexing and access filters. It shows the journals that published papers closest to yours, with their review time, APC and any APC waiver for your country.

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.
