- On average, our reviewers respond to an invitation to review in under 4 days.
- On average, our reviewers return a review in 34 days.
- On average, we made a first editorial decision in under 60 days.
- Around 2/3rds of reviews are returned before the review deadline by an average of 15 days
- Less than 20 occasions where reviewers were asked to review a 2nd revision (typically only asked to do the original and one revision if applicable)
- Overall acceptance rate of 13.5%
- Associate editors have very similar accept/reject rates despite different content areas they are addressing
- Low acceptance rates and increased number of submissions are "leading" indicators of journal impact. The "lagging" indicator is citation impact factor.
