When is the appropriate time to publish a paper? After writing the paper and checking that there are no problems, it is necessary to choose a journal to contribute. After submitting a paper, there are usually three review links, namely, preliminary review, review and final review. This process takes a long time and is also very painful for the author. So the author is most concerned about this time, so when will the paper be submitted and published?

It depends on which periodical the author submits. Different levels of journals have different review cycles and publication times. The publishing time of provincial periodicals is generally short, and the review period is about one to three months. For core journals, all core journals need to make an appointment for typesetting, and the review is strict, so the time is relatively long, usually 8 months to a year, and sometimes it may be longer.

Because publishing a paper generally goes through the following processes: submission, review, employment/rejection, modification and polishing, final review, finalization, proofreading, typesetting, printing, publishing and mailing. Especially, as an essential process before the publication of a paper, the review time of the paper is the longest in the whole publication process. If the paper is approved at one time, if it is repeatedly withdrawn and reviewed because of the content problems of the paper, it will directly lead to the increase of the publication time of the paper, so it is very necessary to modify the paper before submission.

The author needs to be reminded that although many publications have become monthly, semi-monthly or even monthly, it is recommended that the author make preparations in advance, especially in March and September each year, which is the peak period for applying for professional titles. It can be said that all regular biological magazines are faced with a large backlog of manuscripts and a very tight layout. Therefore, even if the author wants to publish his paper at this time, he has made full preparations in advance and can publish it directly at that time, without worrying about the time.

Of course, if you want to publish a paper quickly, you must achieve high quality; The content of the paper can arouse the editor's reading interest and the title is attractive; The number of words and format of papers should meet the requirements of contributing journals. In this way, the review process of the paper can be smoother and the publication cycle of the paper will be much faster.
