Frequently asked questions
Which Chemistry, Multidisciplinary journals have the fastest review?
By median days from submission to acceptance: Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry (36 days); Chemical Research in Chinese Universities (38 days); Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society (45 days). Source: dates deposited by the publishers in Crossref, updated 28 October 2026.
Is a fast review journal in Chemistry, Multidisciplinary a good choice?
Review time is one factor. Check the journal’s scope, indexing and impact factor too, and confirm it is not predatory: a very short review with no real reviewer comments is a warning sign. Journal pages on ScholarsColab show all of these together.
Where do these review times come from?
From the received and accepted dates that publishers deposit in Crossref, the scholarly publication registry. ScholarsColab takes the median for each journal over its research articles of the last 24 months. Updated 28 October 2026.
