Many publishers and journals displays their average review time on their websites. However, the IEEE and ACM journals do not display this information. Any of you have this information?
It is very hard to make general statements is my experience. For any one publisher, some journals are very fast and some very slow. I have found that it often depends on the editor(s) and/or the reviewer(s).
I agree with you that it depends on the editor and reviewer. However, could it be better to display this factor (in average or estimated value) on the journal's website. So that authors can get a rough estimate for article.
