This metric measures the span from when a paper is submitted to when it becomes available to the public. So far so good. Yet, this timeframe can vary widely depending on a publisher\u2019s (or portfolio\u2019s) operational efficiency and a journal\u2019s specific characteristics, such as its discipline, selectivity, size, ownership, and so on.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For example, when it comes to operational efficiency, MDPI stands out among large publishers for achieving a journal turnaround time of 40 days. This is more than 100 days faster than the large, traditional publishers (Springer Nature, Wiley, and Taylor &amp; Francis) as well as a collection of mid-size publishers (Frontiers, Sage, Wolters Kluwer, ACS, OUP, RSC, and IOP).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10123\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10123\" style=\"width: 939px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10123\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Figure-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"939\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Figure-1.png 939w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Figure-1-300x114.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Figure-1-768x292.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 939px) 100vw, 939px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10123\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Figure 1.<\/strong> Journal turnaround time by publisher; refers to the 2022 performance of the median paper (articles and reviews only) of the median journal for journals with a sample of 10 or more papers; large, traditional publishers include Springer Nature, Wiley, and Taylor &amp; Francis, whereas mid-size publishers include Frontiers, Sage, Wolters Kluwer, ACS, OUP, RSC, and IOP.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Going a step further, the publishing time varies significantly by discipline. For example, when excluding MDPI, journals in Education typically take about 110 days longer to publish papers than journals in Mechanical Engineering that in turn take about 75 days longer than journals in Organic Chemistry. More broadly, disciplines in Social Sciences and Humanities are typically slower than disciplines in Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics that in turn tend to be slower than disciplines in Science.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10124\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10124\" style=\"width: 939px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10124\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Figure-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"939\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Figure-2.png 939w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Figure-2-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Figure-2-768x326.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 939px) 100vw, 939px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10124\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Figure 2.<\/strong> Journal turnaround time by publisher and discipline; refers to the 2022 performance of the median paper (articles and reviews only) of the median journal for journals with a sample of 10 or more papers; large, traditional publishers include Springer Nature, Wiley, and Taylor &amp; Francis, whereas mid-size publishers include Frontiers, Sage, Wolters Kluwer, ACS, OUP, RSC, and IOP; discipline classification per Scimago.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_New_Era_of_Transparency_with_ResearcherLife_and_Scholarly_Intelligence\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A New Era of Transparency with Researcher.Life and Scholarly Intelligence<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Until recently, researchers did not have easy access to information about journal turnaround times.
