I was wondering if you could telling me a list of journals which are indexed Scopus and providing editorial excellence, fast decisions , fast publication, and high visibility for my paper about the distribution and the characteristics of aquatic plants.
I am afraid that you are dreaming. :-) Or you have an unnatural haste. The fact is that there is a negative relationship between getting a review done fast and getting a thorough review. From my experience from several hundred papers as an author, a reviewer, and an editor, I can safely say that if you absolutely need to publish fast, then your are left with publication options in which your paper will not even be read thoroughly. You will most likely also be asked to pay. You are dreaming about an option that does not exist - unless you are ready to fork out a lot of money, and I assume that you don't want to do that.
I suggest that you allow for a thorough review from a journal that you can trust, namely a traditional one that is associated with a scientific organization. You stand the bast chance by not throwing your report away to a journal that will not even read the paper, but they will charge you a lot.
Generally, rapid publication journals have high risk for researchers. You should be very careful in this regard.
From submission to the acceptance of a manuscript, usually it make between 2 to 12 months.
