Which Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis journals accepted papers fastest in 2025?
Among 42 Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis journals with enough dated articles in 2025, the shortest median time from submission to acceptance was 35 days (Toxics). The middle journal's median was 107 days. Speed is not a measure of quality; check scope, indexing and fees too.
How are these times measured?
From the submission and acceptance dates publishers deposit in PubMed, for accepted articles only. Each journal needs at least 50 dated articles in the year shown, and a table headed with a year contains only that year's figures.
