The majority of experts (27 out of 40, or 67.5%) indicated their journals target a 2-4 week timeframe for peer review completion. A significant minority (11 experts, or 27.5%) reported a longer 4-8 week timeframe. Only two outliers specified different timeframes: one indicating 8-12 weeks and another reporting a broad range of 2-16 weeks.
Some experts provided additional context, noting that journals must balance speed with quality. One expert emphasized that "fast turnover increases citations" while "serious review maintains credibility," highlighting the tension between quick publication and thorough evaluation.
