There are a lot of journals for the publication of scientific matters. However, researchers face with a big problem: the long time review process (almost more than one year), especially in the field of engineering such as civil, mechanical, etc.
Recently, in 2012, Publons was launched with contribution of more than 80,000 researchers. Publons’s mission is to “speed up science by making peer review faster, more efficient, and more effective”.

Is there any more solution for speed up the scientific peer review process?
