How long does it take for authors of articles that are suitable for review to receive their review results?
It varies. The average time is between 4 and 6 months, although some authors get their review results in fewer than 4 months. Among the factors that influence this are the number of acceptable articles waiting for review and whether the articles are reviewed by three reviewers (Feature and Research in Brief), one reviewer (Ideas at Work), or the editor (Commentary and Tools of the Trade).
