Time Matters: What Factors Affect Submission-To-Acceptance Time in the Journal of Communication?

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This article analyses the possible factors that can affect the time range in two scenarios of the publication process, namely the number of days between submitting a manuscript and its acceptance (n = 42) and the number of days between submitting a research paper and it being published (n = 101) in the Journal of Communication. Regression analyses revealed that some factors significantly affect the time period between the submission and the acceptance of papers. The most important finding is that the number of articles previously published in the Journal of Communication by the most prestigious authors significantly reduces the time between submission and the “decision accepted” response.
