  • Data Sources: Information aggregated from OpenAlex, DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals), Crossref, and PubMed APIs.
  • Time Period: Analysis based on publication records from the last 5 years.
  • Sample Selection: Randomly selected 100 papers per journal per year from 10,000+ papers (500 papers per journal total) to ensure statistical rigor.
  • Calculation: Review time and production time calculated as median values across the sample period. Browse individual journal pages for detailed timelines.
