Rapid Publication
Rapid publication model at INNSpub
The increasing number of manuscript submissions and long editorial timelines, publishing in reputed journals has become more time-consuming. However, timely publication is crucial for researchers careers and institutional reputation, especially in fast-evolving scientific fields.
To address this, the International Network for Natural Sciences (INNSpub) has introduced a Rapid Publication Model across all its journals. This initiative ensures the fastest possible publication without compromising the quality of the peer-review process.
INNSpub maintains strict and standardized peer-review criteria for both regular and rapid publishing models. The key difference lies in the timeline:
• In the Rapid Track, peer review is completed within 3-7 days and accepted articles are published online within 6-10 days.
• In the Standard Track, peer review is done within 7-10 days with publication following in 2-3 weeks.
This fast-track option benefits authors who need urgent dissemination of their research while ensuring scientific accuracy and editorial integrity. It also supports research areas experiencing rapid developments and high-impact discoveries.
By offering this accelerated model, INNSpub aims to reduce the wait time for global dissemination of research, allowing other scholars to build upon new findings quickly. The model is designed to meet both quality standards and the demands of modern scientific communication.
INNSpub is committed to providing a balanced, efficient and high-quality publication experience for the global research community.
Timeline for rapid publication
The time frame for rapid publication
• Submission to acceptance 2-3 days
• Acceptance to Publication 4 days
• Total Average Publication Time 7 days
• Acceptance rate: 83%
Rapid review policy at INNSpub
INNSpub offers both normal and rapid publication options to accommodate authors needs. Authors must explicitly request the rapid review process, either during or after submission. Without this request, manuscripts will follow the standard review process, which typically takes 1-2 weeks for review feedback.
Under the Rapid Publication Model, authors receive peer-review comments within 4 days and accepted articles are published online within 6-10 days. A separate fee is applicable for this fast-track service after acceptance.
Despite the accelerated timeline, the process maintains strict peer-review standards to ensure quality. After acceptance, article proofs are sent to the corresponding author within 5-7 working days. To avoid delays, authors must review and return proofs within 2-3 working days, checking for any typographical or minor figure-related errors. Major changes are not allowed at the proof stage.
This model is ideal for authors needing urgent publication without compromising the quality or integrity of the editorial process.
Continuous publishing and archived issues
INNSpub follows a continuous publishing model, meaning that articles are added to the current issue as soon as they are ready. This approach ensures that there are no unnecessary delays in making research content publicly available. All published articles are also archived for long-term access and reference.
Fast Track publication consideration limits
As authors should note, only a limited number of papers can be accepted under the fast-track peer review option. This limitation is due to the availability of qualified reviewers who can complete thorough reviews within the short time frame required for rapid publication.
Paper processing charge
It is important to note that the fast/rapid publication system involves an additional publication charge. This operational fee helps cover the extra costs associated with expedited production and maintenance. The article processing charges are collected from the author(s), their institutions or research funding bodies, based on the fast publication charge structure, which reflects the accelerated progress and delivery timeline of the publication process.
Normal publishing may take up to 2-3 weeks for the first-round review report to be available. The rapid review process will be initiated only upon the author’s request, either during submission or by sending an email after submission. If no such request is made, the manuscript will proceed through the normal (regular) review process.
