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.
