Hello,
I submitted a short communication to the "Operations Research Letters" the 8th of July 2019. After some days awaiting for an editor to be assigned, it got to the "with the editor" stage. It is still in that stage, specifically it was in this state for 38 days (data of today).
Looking online, I only found one mention of the review process time on Scimag, obtained by voluntary contributions by authors only (i.e., no official data), and it read 18 months. By looking at previous issues of ORL, I noticed that the time elapsed between the letter being "Received" and the letter being "Accepted" ranges from 4 to 8 months.
I would like to ask if anyone has ever published in ORL, and how much time it took to move from the "with editor" state to the "invited reviewers" stage.
Thank you in advance
EDIT: wrote "reviewer" instead of "editor"
I remember that it took a few Months for the referees to be happy - as one should expect! - but the rest went quickly.
Michael Patriksson Thank you for your answer! I gather from your answer that the reviewers were assigned quite quickly. Do you remember how much time elapsed before your publication went into the review process? Thank you again for your answer!
Indeed I remembered it wrong! :-) The manuscript was sent early 1998, and was published in 1999. But the turn-around time was ok, I think.
In my case, it took ten weeks the first review, two weeks the second with the acceptance, ten days to appear online, and two months to be published afterward. Very fast, in my criterion.
