First, the influence factors of contributors. From submission to final publication, the influence factors of contributors are very important. Periodicals of different disciplines may have different periods for reviewing papers. For example, some subject journals tend to be highly cautious in scientific research content, and may need more data support, in-depth analysis and clear experimental results. And this cycle is likely to be longer. In addition, the publication of high-quality academic papers usually pays attention to positioning (the importance of journals), topic selection (whether it is targeted and novel) and empirical research (data sources, algorithms, etc.). ), which may affect the publication cycle of the paper.
Secondly, the influencing factors of peer review efficiency. In the process of publishing papers, the review process of journals is a factor that cannot be ignored. In some journals, due to the number of reviewers, management process, author feedback and other factors, the efficiency of peer review may vary greatly. Some journals have a short review cycle, such as only a few weeks, while others may take months or even years. In addition, whether the reviewers can reply, give feedback and express their opinions in time, and implement stricter standards for peer review for different objects may also affect the efficiency and cycle of peer review.
Finally, the influencing factors of the number of contributors. When publishing academic papers, many people contribute at the same time. The greater the ratio of the number of contributors to the total amount of research published in this field in a month, the cycle of paper approval will increase accordingly. Therefore, in the field of increasingly fierce competition in the same category of journals, the period of successful publication of papers will be longer.
To sum up, academic papers need a lot of time from submission to final publication, often months or even years. Although the review time of some subject journals is fixed, the review time of most journals will be different due to the nature of journals, manuscript review, processing flow and other factors. Therefore, before the publication of academic papers, the author can arrange the time reasonably according to the factors such as topic selection and publication selection, and formulate reasonable publishing strategies on this basis to improve the success rate of paper publication. For papers with a long review period, the author can try to shorten the publication period of the paper by understanding the review process, contacting the editor, understanding the specific reasons, and rationally allocating his own time.
