From acceptance to online publication
After acceptance, half of the 2022 articles appeared online within 11 days (middle half 9–16 days, n = 100).
From submission to online publication, the median was 107 days (middle half 74–157 days, n = 100).
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.
