Journal Statistics

Statistics of the Journal as of May 2025.

Paper status

Status	2021	2022	2023	2024
Number of submissions	7	52	42	62
Number of accepted submissions by year of acceptance (but might have been submitted in an earlier year)	0	7	9	30
Number of accepted submissions by year of submission (but might have been accepted in a later year)	1	23	16	16
Number of submissions awaiting decision by year of submission	0	0	1	21

Numbers by year of submission subject to change as further decisions are made. All submissions awaiting decision from 2023 and 2024 are in Phase 2, so are expected to be accepted eventually (see our review process).

Processing times

Period (times reported in days)	2021	2022	2023	2024
Average time between submission and Phase 1 decision	19	68	90	76
Average time between submission and final decision (averaged over all papers)	8	95	161	230
Average time between submission and final decision for accepted papers		237	375	374
Average time between submission and publication		356	363	462

Times are averaged over papers that reached the milestone in the given year, so the set of papers used in each calculation is not the same for each category. Note that, final decisions for rejected papers usually occur at the end of Phase 1, whereas final decisions for accepted papers occur only at the end of Phase 2.

Reviews

Category	2021	2022	2023	2024
Number of review requests sent	12	265	256	412

Review statistics are approximate; the data contains a small number of repetitions caused by sometimes issuing multiple requests to the same person (typically due to requests expiring or initially using the wrong email).
