The world has been changing fast and taking new strides in almost every field, however, the ecosystem of journal publications is still the same old fashioned. As a consequence the high quality research is not timely published and this losings its relevance.

Highly complicated question, it is not possible for an individual to give proper solution/answer to your question Since you have asked 'What can be done"
High-quality journals (Q1, Q2) of the research paper will need some duration of time since many factors act in reviewing process.
- SPEED OF PROCESSING
- From submission to first decision
- From submission to first post-review decision
- From acceptance to online publication
Ramkumar has explained it all. Getting a reviewer can take time as well and reviewers also take their time. It is a process hence maybe if reviewers are paid and they are given a deadline or few weeks to review a manuscript probably the process will not take too long.
To improve the journal publication process one must present the subject matter in a lucid manner with good English and no. mistakes.The literature survey should be relevant,and results must be reproducible. The results should be critically analysed and presented neatly.
Dear Prof. Madhukar Baburao Deshmukh,
Thanks for your insightful inputs...
This depends on not only authors but also the reviewers and journal editors
To improve the journal publication process, concerned with reviewer and editor of the journal i.e. how quickly they follow the review process.
Right now, it's a really difficult question to answer. There is a good probability that your work will be accepted if it meets the journal's standards. Furthermore, how you present your findings in the Abstract, Discussion, and Conclusion is critical.
This is a broad question, too broad for one single answer. However, two of the things I think are most important for improving the process are as follows: (1) Better peer review, especially in terms of the quality of the reviewers and a commitment to keep to deadlines and not have work halted by reviewers who consistently ignore them or act unethically, and (2) Dismantling of expensive publication processing charges for many journals, which serve to erect barriers which can be unsurpassable for researchers in countries which are economically less developed. Equally many people in more developed nations who may not have the backing of multiple grants and/or institutional funding may also be unable to publish in such journals. These two issues must be addressed before more sweeping changes can be made. However, whilst we must initiate progress we must make sure it is not at the expense of quality-control and research integrity.
