How fast we decide
The time from receipt to acceptance and from acceptance to publication at The Ulutas Medical Journal, computed from our own records.
Only articles that were published are counted, so the figures describe accepted work, not every submission. Medians and quartiles appear once at least three articles have both dates.
| Stage | Median (days) | Middle half (days) | Articles counted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Receipt to acceptance | 43 | 29–63 | 312 |
| Acceptance to online publication | 34 | 22–63 | 312 |
| Receipt to online publication | 83 | 59–123 | 312 |
