ACSR 2024 Peer Review Metrics

Submission to First Decision: Manuscripts are reviewed by the editorial team, assessed for quality by peer reviewers, and the editorial team sends the first decision back to the authors so that they can improve the quality according to suggestions (if any), including formatting as required by the journal. This takes approximately 35.42 days.

 

First Decision to Acceptance: The authors have improved the quality of the manuscript according to the recommendations of reviewers, and formatted it as specified by the journal until it is complete and accurate according to the journal's standards, including being accepted for publication in approximately 28.05 days.

 

Acceptance to Publication: The production process after the manuscript has been accepted and published takes approximately 11.74 days.

 

The operational efficiency of ACSR's editorial team in 2024 is much better than the previous year. The original time spent throughout the process from article submission to publication was 117.60 days, reduced to only 75.21 days. However, the editorial team is committed to reducing the time period to comply with the editorial team's policy that from article submission to acceptance should not take more than 45 days. The editorial team will try to gradually reduce the time period in the article review process by reviewers to no more than 28 days by 2025 and no more than 14 days by 2027.
