How long could the upcoming PFS epigenetic study take to get published after submission?
I’ve heard that a PFS research paper may be submitted to a scientific journal by the end of this year.
What I’m trying to understand is what usually happens after submission and how long the whole process can realistically take.
For example, if a manuscript is submitted in December:
- How long does the first peer-review round usually take?
- How many rounds of revisions are common?
- How long can it take from submission to acceptance?
- And after acceptance, how long until the paper is actually available online?
I know this varies a lot between journals and studies, but I’m mainly looking for a rough realistic timeline.
For example, would something like this be plausible?
Submission → first reviews: 1–3 months → revisions: 1–3 months → acceptance/publication: another 1–3 months
So are we usually talking about several months, around a year, or potentially much longer?
If anyone here has experience with academic publishing or knows how previous PFS papers moved through peer review, I’d really appreciate your insight.
