Peer-Review Turnaround Time

Estimated Peer-Review Turnaround Time: 4 – 6 weeks

This estimate is based on the journal’s reviewer guidelines, which request that reviewers complete their evaluations within 14 days (2 weeks) of accepting a review invitation, and considering additional editorial processing time and potential assignment of multiple reviewers.

Breakdown (approximate):

  • Reviewer completion time: ~14 days after accepting review invitation (per reviewer commitment)

  • Editorial coordination & multiple reviewer reports: ~1–3 weeks

  • Total first-decision turnaround: ~4–6 weeks

Note: The actual turnaround can vary depending on reviewer availability, the number of reviewers assigned, and any revisions required by authors.
