Frequently asked questions
Which Engineering, Biomedical journals have the fastest review?
By median days from submission to acceptance: Biomedical Microdevices (70 days); Smart Medicine (70 days); Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology (73 days). Updated 29 October 2026.
Is a fast review journal in Engineering, Biomedical 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.
How are these review times calculated?
From the received and accepted dates of each research article. ScholarsColab takes the median for each journal over its research articles of the last 24 months. Updated 29 October 2026.
