Frequently asked questions
Which Microscopy journals have the fastest review?
By median days from submission to acceptance: Ultrastructural Pathology (61 days); Journal of Microscopy (118 days); Microscopy Research and Technique (153 days). Source: dates deposited by the publishers in Crossref, updated 28 October 2026.
Is a fast review journal in Microscopy 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.
