After acceptance, half of the 2023 articles appeared online within 52 days (middle half 42–68 days, n = 54).
From submission to online publication, the median was 103 days (middle half 92–123 days, n = 58).
Read these numbers carefully
- These times describe articles the journal accepted. Rejected manuscripts never appear in public data, so they cannot tell you how long a rejection takes.
- Dates are the ones the publisher deposited with PubMed. Some publishers record the date a revised manuscript arrived as the submission date, which makes review look faster.
- Invited articles and special issues can move faster than regular submissions.
Open access status and publishing fees
Open access (not listed in DOAJ). No listed APC found in DOAJ or OpenAlex. That does not mean publishing is free — check the journal's author guidelines.
