Once I have submitted a paper, how long can I expect to wait before I hear from the journal, and how much time passes between acceptance and publication of a manuscript?
Submissions are acknowledged promptly by e-mail. About half of the papers submitted to the journal are selected for external review. For papers that are not selected for external review, the journal notifies authors of its decision within two to three weeks of submission. For papers that are selected for external review, authors can expect to wait about two to three months from the date of submission until notification of the journal’s decision. For papers that are selected for revision, the length of time between the revision request and publication will vary widely (from six weeks to several months) depending on various factors, including the extent of revision required, the need for additional review and revision, whether the paper will be published in a bound volume or on our Web site, etc.
