In our newest "how can we help you?" thread, a reader writes:
I am aware of a couple of crowdsourced web pages for data on average journal review times and other relevant stats for early career people trying to get a feel for where they should and shouldn't send things off if they're hoping for a semi-reasonable turnaround. There are plenty of "specialist" journals, though, that don't end up on those lists, particularly those that intersect with the sciences. I think it could be really helpful to get a thread going in which people can share links to any such journal database pages that they're aware of (including pages for interdisciplinary journals!). I personally didn't find out about these things until well into grad school, and wish I had earlier. I think this would also be a great way of increasing the accuracy of these sources (by increasing submission #s) and slightly minimizing the extent to which success at early stages in this profession hinges on knowing the "right" people with this sort of insider info!
This is a great query. Another reader wrote in:
I'm not sure that there's any other page than this one: https://apasurvey.philx.org/ Seems pretty active.
While to my knowledge that is probably the best page for journal turnaround times, there's at least one other crowdsourced page for other journal stats here.
I highly encourage readers to contribute to it, filling in info for missing journals!
Does anyone know of any other/better pages for philosophy journal info?
