This mainly depends on the selected target journals, which are all different, and are available every six months and one year. The main issue is the length of the review cycle. How to judge the review cycle, please refer to the following article:

Teach you how to judge the review cycle of periodicals.

The review period is an important criterion to measure the publishing house, so many publishing societies publish it regularly. For the author, the review period is equally important, and academic research has timeliness. Every author hopes that the submitted journals can quickly complete the review process and publish smoothly. So, how to judge the periodical review cycle?

Check the periodical home page

Most authors will look at the front page of the journal, and generally find the review cycle of the journal in the introduction or submission instructions. However, even for the same journal, the review period is not fixed, but only an approximate time. If you encounter some special circumstances, such as supplementary experiments, the whole review cycle will be longer, so the journal will provide the author with an average review time.

Autonomous computing

A relatively simple method is to find the articles recently published by this magazine, usually in the footer of the articles. Some journals will be noted after abstracts or references. For example, there will be such a message in the footer of the article: Received:11/2017? -Acceptance: 4/4/20 17- Publication: 1/5/20 17. This is the time from the receipt of the article to its publication, and the author can judge the review period of the journal.

Direct contact log

The author can also contact the target journal directly and ask about the review cycle of the journal.

Consulting library

For scholars in colleges and universities, many school libraries are likely to have a lot of information about SCI journals, including the review cycle. The author can consult our library.

Periodical submission system

At present, most journals use online submission and review system. When you submit a manuscript, the system will send you an email to let the author know the time of the preliminary review.

The review period is one of the criteria for the author to consider the target journals. Through the above methods, we can judge the review cycle of journals so that articles can be published as soon as possible. The author can also comprehensively consider the target journals by combining the published article "Essential Tools for Selecting Target Journals" polished by Charlesworth's thesis.
