Methodology & Data Integrity
Data Sources: Information aggregated from OpenAlex, DOAJ, Crossref, and PubMed APIs, covering publication records from the last 5 years.
Sample Selection: For each journal, we analyze up to 500 randomly selected papers (100 per year) to ensure high statistical confidence.
Median Calculation: We use median values for review and production times to minimize the impact of outliers and provide a realistic middle-ground estimate.
Community Powered: These estimates are augmented by direct researcher reports from authors like you.
