For Authors

Rapid publication refers to the process of accelerating the review and publication timeline of research articles in academic journals. In some cases, journals offer a rapid publication option for authors who need their research to be published quickly, such as when the research is time-sensitive or has policy implications. Rapid publication typically involves a shorter review process and faster editorial decisions, enabling authors to have their research published within weeks or months rather than the usual months or years. However, it is important to note that rapid publication does not compromise the quality of the peer-review process or the rigor of the research. Instead, it is a way to ensure that important research findings are disseminated quickly to the scientific community and beyond. Rapid publication options are increasingly offered by academic journals, particularly in fields where timely dissemination of research is critical.
