Sources count differently and were observed at different times, so each source's own value is kept; "publisher" marks figures from the journal's website.

Review & acceptance

Review time and acceptance

Review time from article dates manuscript dates registered with Crossref

Not usableThis publisher's "received" date is mostly when the revised manuscript arrived (33% of articles were "accepted" within 3 days), so it cannot measure review time

Community reports come from authors' own submissions (confidence 0.5) and are not a promise from the journal; for publisher figures, the journal's own definitions apply.

Fees & open access

The journal's website is authoritative for fees; sources were observed at different times and each keeps its own value, without averaging.
