The review cycle, depending on the speed of professional review, is within 45 days if everything goes well. If the article doesn’t satisfy the basic requirements of our journal and it is much likely to be rejected around two weeks. To be specific, the preliminary review period lasts about one month. Once your manuscript is accepted, our Production Team will begin to make the PDF proof (about 3-5 weeks) after receiving the publication fee, and the manuscript will be published about 3-5 weeks after the confirmation of the proof.
