Average time between submission and publication of scientific articles
The publication process of a scientific article involves several stages that ensure the quality and credibility of the content. These stages include the initial submission of the manuscript, peer review, revisions requested by the reviewers, final editing, and finally, publication.
On average, this process takes about 24 weeks — that is, approximately six months — from the moment the author submits the article until its effective publication in the scientific journal. This period may vary depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the topic, the speed of reviewer responses, the need for text adjustments, and the editorial flow of the journal itself.
Understanding this timeframe is essential for researchers aiming to disseminate their work as well as for institutions that monitor scientific production. The 24-week average reflects a balance between scientific rigor and editorial efficiency, demonstrating a commitment to quality without compromising the speed of knowledge dissemination.
There are no fees for article submission, publication, access, or reading. Searching published articles is also free, with open access to both abstracts and full texts.
