About the off-season and peak season of sci submission, there are corresponding articles and statistical data on the internet, and the conclusion is that 65438+ 10 and 165438+ 10 are the peak seasons for paper publication, that is, the peak seasons. April, July, September and 65438+February are in the low season.

This situation may be related to the time of paper submission, peer review process and periodical production cycle. For example, before the start of the Christmas and New Year holidays, researchers are busy completing the year-end tasks to submit papers that may be published in April next year.

In the peak season, due to the large number of manuscripts being reviewed by reviewers, the review speed will be slow. In the off-season, relatively speaking, it is faster. When is the best time to contribute? Each author should make reasonable arrangements according to his own actual situation, so as to catch up early rather than late, and there is no need to wait until the off-season.
