It takes a lot of time in publishing the paper in the journal, from few months to a year so how one can able to decrease the time for publication.
(1) Letter and short communication type of articles are usually reviewed fast. There are specific journals which are focused on publishing such articles.
(2) Submit to a well reputed and high impact journal. The review process is quite faster.
(3) Submit to open access journals which promise quick publication on their home page. Obviously those journals compromise the review process to shorten the review period.
(4) Become an editor of a journal to push your own articles.
(5) Submit the revised manuscript as quick as possible.
(6) Be invited by the Editor to submit a manuscript for publication.
(7) Submit a manuscript to a special issue which usually has a definite deadline to complete review process and publish.
Practically, there is no possibility to predict or control the review period of journals. One needs to be patient until you receive decision mail for revision and acceptance and allocation of volume number.

First, it took Octave Levenspiel, a giant in chemical engineering over twenty-five years to get his ideas on increased atmospheric pressure during the Cretaceous published and he had to coauthor with a NASA astronaut, Donald Petit so I think you could be a little optimistic.. However, once you have written the article submit it where you want. Then put a preprint, poster, pdf, ptt presentation at Researchgate to obtain at least one DOI number. Many Researchgate, Academia.edu, etc website preprints on covid have been cited already. Once uploaded within a month Google will highly index your article. If you teach, with a few keywords with maybe your name and you can amaze your students by calling up your paper or presentation in class.
I found out about a new AI_product that does exactly that - minimizes our time on writing and editing your article.
It took me 2 hours to correct, edit and finalize a 5000-word article for publication!!
I was impressed by how this tool optimizes your research manuscript before you submit to a journal. All-in-one, technical, language and ethical checks through plenty parameters, and all for free.
I really want to share this with my students of Academic Writing to scan it through to make it camera-ready and to save my eyes from endless marking papers

Pankaj,
There is no specific strategy to 'force' publication time - especially in terms of trying to decrease reviewer/editor feedback beyond the usual considerations. To me - the only way that individuals can reduce the process is very careful homework related to the targeted journal i.e. adherence to house-style and making the manuscript good quality - so that reviewers only have a few comments to amend - and then a quick reponse to the reviewer comments once they come.
Adhering to the author’s guidelines from the beginning at time of first submission saves sometime in addition to quick resubmission when receiving reviewers feedback.
Literally, it is not possible to reduce the publication time from the Editors'/reviewers' point of view. Because the journal authority needs a certain amount of time to publish a paper. But an author can sometimes reduce the publication time by ensuring some criteria on the manuscript.

The shortening of this time is the responsibility of the publisher. Some years ago, the Journal of Mechanical Engineering of ASME tripled the number of papers in each issue and in this way the time of publication was shortened dramatically.
(1) Journal selection is very important- the paper should match journal aim and scope.
(2) Select the journal based on number of issues per year.
(3) Submission of paper with journal guidelines strictly.
(4) Ensure the quality of the work with journal standard.
(5) Visit the journal home page and ensure the number of papers published online and then how much time taken to assign volume / issue .
(6) Few journal now provided the time for first decision in home page. This is useful to identify the journal doing fast publication.
(7) Open access is preferable for speedy publication.
(8) However, the role of reviewers is playing vital role. Initially two or three reviewers are assigned for a paper. If any two reviewers providing quality comments with in the stipulated time then it easy to take decision. Otherwise the publication time, nobody can predict.
Hi
I think there is no such fast strategy to publish the paper within a short duration...but sometimes we have urgency to publish our papers fast as if we have to face interview for job or promotion....under such situation if urgency occurs you can go for paid publications...rest
PATIENCE IS BEST ...TO GET GOOD REWARD OF YOUR PAPER IN TERMS OF NAAS RATING....
Free access journals might have quick review times because of the involvement of money, compared to subscribed journals.
1. choose a journal with a continuous publication model
2. follow instruction for authors (it's extremely important)
3. do not forget to submit a clean and with a tracked changes versions of your revised manuscript
4. do not hesitate to contact the editor
5. if the journal asks you to provide names of potential reviewers do not choose your colleagues but real, recognized specialists in the topic, that does not look suspicious for the handling editor (they should have institutional, not private emails)
6. if English is not your mother tongue - ask a native speaker for proofreading
7. if you need this paper for Ph.D. etc., do not hesitate to write it in the cover letter
