Is there any rapid publication journal indexed by ISI that covers the field of English language and literature? Most of them are in the field of science.
Hi,
The speed of wait time for publication in a journal is , usually, not mentioned in the publisher's site. One can assume that if the journal has a high impact factor, then it is probably flooded with papers sent for publication, and the wait time is long (more than 3 month). If the journal has a moderate or low impact factor, the wait time should be relatively short.
ISI stood originally for Institute for Scientific Information. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_for_Scientific_Information. So it should not be used as a database or resource in the fields of English or Literature research.
Instead I recommend that you log in to Google Scholar. https://scholar.google.com
The trouble is that Google Scholar is not accepted for promotion or appointment purposes in different parts of the world. Some institutions insist on publishing in ISI indexed journals and this is a real problem to schoars in the field of HUMANITIES. Worse than that is the fact the some journals indexed in ESCI are not acceptable!
Here in Asia universities use the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI), which includes most of the top international journals in literature and the humanities. The only humanities/literature journal I have ever submitted to that claimed to have a rapid review process was PMLA - but they have a very low acceptance rate, and you have to be a paid-up member of the MLA.
I have never come across a "rapid publication journal" in this field. Even those that claim to be "rapid" are not as "rapid" as some in the sciences. Colleagues might also use a "rapid publication" process in a journal to question the quality of a journal. It still seems to be how people think about journals in this field
I agree with you Michael. Rapid publication journal means a journal that does not take a long time to process articles submitted to them. I have come across some journals which take more than one year and a half, and they do not even bother to reply to queries about the articles submitted to them. The phrase refers, in this context, to journals that take the usual time to review and respond in a logical and acceptable way,
I think that the strong idea help to review any article in short time
