maybe you can try with IEEE signal processing letters. I think that they provide fast response, but it's a binary response: no chance to submit a revision.

Anyway, IMHO, I prefer Elsevier journals to IEEE. I have the impression that they are more "honest". Some IEEE journals can publish 4 or 5 times the same paper of a well-known author including the same figures and experimentation, while they reject your papers with novel ideas using weak arguments such as "We don't like the database you have used".

Ehsan - have you tried the Elsevier "journal finder" tool? This will give you Acceptance Rate, Editorial Times, Production Times and Impact Factor. Hope this helps!!!

http://journalfinder.elsevier.com/

Thank you Syed Yusuf. This is very useful tool.

Is this Journal finder available for other publication centers, like Springer and others.

and how could i find Journals which doesn't related to these institutes?

Ehsan - the tool is specifically made for journals listed on Elsevier only. There is one available for Springer but it only gives you the Impact Factors of different journals listed on its website (See link below).

http://www.springer.com/authors/journal+authors/helpdesk?SGWID=0-1723213-12-817204-0

BTW - I recently published in "Expert Systems with Applications". The paper was submitted in June 2012 and got accepted by December 2012 which is a 6-month-period. The journal has an 5-year IF of 2.339 (1.854 annually) and an acceptance rate of about 16%.

Your answer impress me Marcos.Thank you very much.

Good question. I think it might also depend on the topic and availability of reviewers. I received a response (negative, unfortunately) from TPAMI in less than 3 months, but I have heard also that some people had to to wait over 9 months for the same journal.

Veronika, At this time I have a complete research on an Improved version of Image registration with keypoints. beside this work, i want to trace Journals to publish other papers.

Journals nowadays are competing for good papers. And so, most journals are reworking their review process and cutting down heavily on the time required for reviews. Many IEEE journals and Elsevier journals used to take more than a year (in some cases, several years!!) before take much less than that to get accepted. I advise you to look at a few journals, and check their review history (often shown on the first page). That should give you an idea of how long it takes to get your paper published. Generally, I would estimate that most major papers take about 4 to 8 month from initial submission to one cycle of revision to acceptance. Of course, you may be rejected in about 3 to 4 month, in which case you need to do a major revision and start the whole process, or resubmit to another journal, again restarting the whole review process.

Another possibility is to go with a special issue of a well-known journal. As they have dedicated (special issue) editors and reviewers it often means a faster turn-around time.

good suggestion Uwe.

Can anyone tell me the good quality journals which do not charge any publication fee.

Try one of the Elsevier journals.

Thank you ...

Hi Mirsadeghi, I had received very fast reply (about 3 months) from Expert Systems with Applications, Pattern Recognition and Pattern Recognition Letters (all from Elsevier). I have a submitted manuscript to TPAMI and I am waiting for more than an year for the first review.

I think that a fast reply journal is something very important in computer science.

http://www.hindawi.com/journals/tswj/

This journal usually take time between 1-3 month for the first editorial decision. But you have to pay $1000 for publication.

Pattern Analysis and Applications Journal (http://paaa.edmgr.com/)

This journal takes 6 weeks for the first editorial decision

Dear Ehsan

please follow this link you may find some journals of your interest

http://www.scirp.org/

I think that it is all about money, and even those publishers who claim quality and long time process to ensure quality, why then they take our money?

why they do not pay for the reviewers to guarantee a faster process and a higher quality?

I waited a year to get silly comments, then another year to get published, my ideas become out of date by then. who cares it is all about money.

The researchers are the customers and the commodity at the same time, they pay when they write articles, they pay when they read articles, and they never get paid when they review articles! nevertheless they suffer a lot when they try to publish.

i think universities all over the world should take the lead in this business, and dedicate a share of their budget for this goal.

their is a large amount of money paid by governments and private sector to support research, part of this money should go to nonprofit publication organizations.

every thing in this world has become for sale, let us support knowledge production and make it free for all humanity.

Dear Ehsan i believe that there are a few journals that are listed in ISI and respond to you quickly/ have fast peer review but most of them charge you.

Wulfenia Journal

Pensee Journal

I had invitations from these journals

You can try Medical physics, IEEE transaction on biomedical engineering (TBME)

they usually give first review result in around 1 month.

Hi Ramana, be careful about walfenia journal. See this link

http://www.scienceguide.nl/201303/you-think-this-journal-is-real.aspx

There are many fake journals out there.

Cheers

Guillermo

Dear Ehsan

These both Journal are Fake , please don't submit papers in these Journal.

Wulfenia Journal

Pensee Journal

http://www.scirp.org/ these Journals are not ISI Indexed.

Please be careful

Dear Friends thank you so much for enlightening me on such essential facts?. In that case i believe that We should start punishing those who Dupe us. Its high time. I was lucky in not responding to such journals though i received info.

Many who are unaware can fall trap.

Caution Friends!

@Ramana KV...........

You are right but its not so easy..........

Wulfenia Journal

Pensee Journal

These both journals are original SCI-indexed journals but they are hijacked.

SO, now both original and fake are working and have official website....

So, my suggestion is that if you want to submit paper, first check in thomous routers website, if the website address is 100% same, then go for it

haahahahah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Dear it is depend on the quality of work, one of my paper is published in 12 days in Journal of Applied Physics

@ Azam Khan

what if they never read your high quality research, and they rejected just based one your name or affiliation?

this happened with me several times, how I know they never read my article? from comments, which have nothing to do with the article!

you need to be lucky , and someone read and listen to you , to get published in a IF journal.

@Ahmad

I don't think you're a terrorist neither reviewers do so. I strongly believe peer reviewers do not make decision based on the country the article comes from.  Unfortunately, you are probably right in some of your claims. Sometimes reviewers do not make their job properly and their comments don't make any sense. However, that could happend to anybody, independently the country you come from. You should probably try submitting your paper to well-known ISI journals in your field so you are likely to get good reviewers who will give you very useful feedback. Good luck!

Dear @Guillermo Cabrera G.

In my case they do not send to reviewers, the editor reject with silly comments that have nothing to do with the article, this gives me the impression that they never read the article. 

those papers have been reviewed by two key researchers on RG --friends of mine

and they have shown great interest in the ideas and the style of writing, and also they'v given me some feed back which enriched my studies. 6 months trying to publish at 3 IF journals to get the same result, that why I jumped to conclusion that my name has contributed to those rejections.

I will publish them somewhere and I will invite you to read em, and tell me if they deserve to be published in high IF journal or not?

conclusion: I do not think that quality of the paper is a priority for many IF journals.

I figure out the solution at: https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_do_you_think_about_revolutionary_steps_taken_by_all_researches_against_the_current_publication_system#5425c528d5a3f2bc168b45d1

I think "International Journal of Digital Earth" will be better one. Its Impact Factor is 2.212

Dear Muzammil Mehmood and Ramana

be careful please because Wulfenia journal and Pensee journal are hijacked journals, they are not the real ones, the real ones are respectful journals but have no website. I my self almost swallowed the bate.

this link provides many hijacked journals, showing both hijacked and authentic URL: 

http://scholarlyoa.com/other-pages/hijacked-journals/

Thanks to Ahmad Hassanat . You are very much correct.

Very good question and answers, of course these answers are very useful for me.

Usually the journals differs totally according to the speciality. Also the quality of the research and the techniques done affect the rapid response

 Dear all

I have a bad experience with certain journal that doesn't have a web for submission, the submission is only though email. For five months I sent messages to journal staff  and chief editor asking about the statues of my paper and  I receive no answer. I advice you to avoid submission to any journal that doesn't have a website for submission, because at least you can know the statues of your papers.

Best regards

very good question and I look forward to hear the answer from somebody who has get publish for his work in any ISI journal within a short time and even paid journal... thanks friends

very interesting topic

its hard to be rejected after waiting for 9 months

it's more interested if we found a journal that promote the paper till his publication and not limited in time

I have finished seven months waiting for a revision or statues from a journal that doesn't have a submission system but I got nothing from them and I dropped my paper after seven months requesting them to give me at least the statues of my paper. I advice to check the number of issues of such journals and their submission history and  be award not to waste time with them, because some of them doesn't even give you the statutes of your paper even if you requested many times!

For me, I am interested in many journals. However, I have to ask the editor or the contactperson of each journal about, for example, edotorial time and acceptance rate. If he or she gives me good respose and positive answers, I keep that journal in my list of journals for submission.

Dear Therdpong Daengsi 

How about a journal that their editorial team even doesn't respond to any of your emails?

submit your article in Bentham or science direct journal, they first respond reviewer comments  within 6 -8 week.

Dear Ehsan Mirsadeghi,

Recently, I did a little research on Computer Science (including Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition or Image Processing) Journals List, Review Speed, Impact Factors, and Open Access Fee from Elsevier, Springer, and Hindawi. Please find them at the attached links.

Hope this would help.

Dear Mohamad Ivan Fanany,

This is very interesting informations, however can you list, please, the same tables regarding the electrical engineering. thanks

Dear Ali Mahmood Humada,

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, electrical engineering is not my field. I am afraid for ultimately give a wrong or irrelevant list. But fortunately, some online Journal Finder services are available. We need only to enter our paper's title and abstract, the services will automatically find best matched Journals (with similarity scores)

https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/journal-author/journal-author-helpdesk/preparation/1276

Usually, each Journal will indicate their Review or Turn Around time in the their website.  

Hope this would help.

Have you try on Plos One Journal? The review quite fast

Dear Ehsan Mirsadeghi and All,

I updated the Elsevier list with a new column: Acceptance Rate, based on Elsevier Journal Finder results. In my view, there is a correlation between the Impact Factors and Acceptance Rate. As writers, we generally want a good Impact Factors Journal with higher Acceptance Rate. Thus, I make a new column, i.e., Acceptance Rate times Average Impact Factors. Hope this would be helpful.

The updated file can be accessed at the following link:

Thank you very much Mr Mohamad Ivan Fanany ·

Your informations are very useful for me

Thank you mohamad, well done, you have done excellent hard work  

Based on Mohamad's data, this IEEE is a joke, 500 days to get a dammed paper to be published!! this is a complete BSH

I would never try them.

Truly thank Mr Mohamad Ivan Fanany for this interesting topic. 

These journals are very quick reviews in SCI journals.

Thanks for all. 

@Mr.Zakir Khan, would you give more detail information concerning the response time of each journal you mentioned ?

1. "Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering" is not indexed in Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition, 

2. SCIENTIFIC WORLD JOURNAL is not a good choice according to:

https://scholarlyoa.com/2014/10/14/the-scientific-world-journal-will-lose-its-impact-factor-again/

To: Sifat ullah Khan,

kindly read what {Shankar K } wrote, it is mentioned in his list.

Advances in Electrical and Computer Engineering

http://www.aece.ro/

To:

Sifat ullah Khan · 1.66 · University of Peshawar

check this journal 

http://www.aece.ro/

it takes 3 to 6 months from the moment you finished your submission and a response is generated by the reviewing system.

hindawi's "scientific programming" is really very quick(Average is 2 months!!!). Please check. FYI, it is also SCI Indexed. 

any one please tell me response time of "Advances in electrical and computer engineering" because it is not mentioned in papers . 

To: Ayesha Afsal

Nearly 3-6 months, average time is 96 days. I got information from Journal website only. One more thing, there is a publication charge of 300 EUR for each accepted article, hope it's affordable for you.   website http://www.aece.ro/

yes its reasonable but i don't think so it takes only 96 days thats why i was asking if any body experience that journal. 

thanks Manikandan

http:/ /www.aece.ro/   is not accepting latex format ?? any latest update regarding this, its impossible to convert lot of latex equations in word. any one knows?

you can try with IET Journal of Engineering

NatarajanK : Hello sir, how much time it will take to get first review????

The average time between submission and decision is six weeks.pl refer the following link:http://digital-library.theiet.org/journals/joe/author-guide

http://digital-library.theiet.org/journals/joe/author-guide

@Natarajan .K:  Thank you sir. This is a very good option, but Article processing charge is very huge ($1150 USD======Rs 76538.77. ).

JoE is a pure gold open access journal with authors of accepted papers paying an article processing charge (APC) of $1150 USD. There is no fee associated with submission to this journal.

It is indexed in Emerging Sources Citation Index, still away from SCIE/SCI indexing

International Journal of Advanced and Applied Sciences (IJAAS) it is ISI indexed (ESCI) and average review time is 40 days

ESCI journals are are still far away from SCI / SCIE

https://www.elsevier.com/physical-sciences/fast-publication-in-computer-science

you can try on 

http://publication-recommender.ieee.org/pubsearch

In my opinion, applied intelligence(springer), Pattern recognition letters(Elsevier) are fastest. Also  you can find their speed on journal website also.

In my experience Pattern Recognition Letters is pretty fast compared to the standards, you can have the first review in maybe four months, or even faster. Good Luck!!

Also telecommunication systems published by Springer has fast response time and Hindawi journals too

You can submit you manuscript to IEEE Access. You can have  final review ( accept or reject but binary decision) within four weeks. 

IEEE Access is paid journal with .....Article processing charge: US $1,750 ....

Wireless Personal Communications is very fast. Gives 1st round of reviews in about 2-3 months.

You can try IEEE Access. I think they provide a response within one month. However, it is a binary response with chance to resubmit a revision.

Thank you

Applied Soft Computing is usually get back to you with the first review in 2 months but you have to keep in mind that publishing in high impact factor journal can take up from 8 to 12 months and sometimes more. 

I have the impression from Multimedia Systems (MMSJ) and Multimedia Tools and Applications (MTAP). They can be your options.
