How Long Does It Take To Get A Paper Accepted For Publication By The ApJ?
Abstract
Publication after acceptance in the ApJ is now very fast. The first papers are published in the on-line editions of Part 1 in 23 days after acceptance and 19 days for the Letters. But what about the average interval between submission and acceptance? Such data cannot be found from the papers, but is available only in the editors’ logs. I visited the Editor's ApJ office in Hamilton, Ontario and collected data for 251 papers. It turns out that 6% of the papers are rejected, 5% are withdrawn, and 88% are eventually accepted for publication. The average reviewing time is 44 days, average revision time is 53 days, and editorial time is 12 days. Other pertinent data are given.
