Editorial speed
Median days between the key events in a manuscript’s history, for events in the period. Half of all manuscripts moved faster than the median and half more slowly.

- Submission to first decision
- Median number of days from submission to the first editorial decision — sending the manuscript for peer review or declining it at initial review — for first decisions made in the period.The journal's procedures set a floor: a manuscript is taken up no sooner than 2 days after submission, and sent for review no sooner than 3 days after that.
- Submission to first decision after peer review
- Median number of days from submission to the first decision communicated to the author after peer review, for such decisions made in the period.Reviewers are given at least 30 days: no review outcome is communicated sooner than 30 days after the manuscript is sent for review.
- Submission to acceptance
- Median number of days from submission to acceptance, revisions included, for manuscripts accepted in the period.
- Acceptance to online publication
- Median number of days from acceptance to the article's first online publication (online first or in an issue), for articles published in the period.No article is published sooner than 20 days after acceptance, which allows for production and the author's approval of the proof.
- Submission to online publication
- Median number of days from receipt of the manuscript to its first online publication, for articles published in the period.
Selectivity
Manuscripts accepted as a share of all final decisions (accepted, rejected after review, and rejected at initial review) made in the period. Withdrawn manuscripts are excluded.
Reported once 10 decisions have been maden = 0 so far

Counts are reported whatever their size; the rate is reported once 10 final decisions have been made. Withdrawn manuscripts are excluded from the rate.
Readership
Article page views and PDF downloads in the period. Automated traffic, the journal's editorial staff and an article's own authors are not counted, and repeated access by the same reader to the same article on the same day counts once.

Stages of peer review
The median time manuscripts spent in each stage during the period, beside the minimum interval required by the journal’s procedures. The full process is set out in the peer-review policy.
Stage 1: Submission
The corresponding author submits the manuscript and its details; a manuscript reference is issued.
Stage 2: Submission to editorial take-up
Median days from submission until an editor takes the manuscript up for initial review.
Reported once 10 decisions have been maden = 0 so far
Minimum 2 days by procedure
Stage 3: Initial editorial review
Median days from editorial take-up to the first decision: sending for peer review or declining at initial review.
Reported once 10 decisions have been maden = 0 so far
Minimum 3 days by procedure
Stage 4: Double-blind peer review
At least 2 independent reviewers assess the manuscript. Median days from sending a manuscript for peer review to the first outcome communicated to the author.
Reported once 10 decisions have been maden = 0 so far
Minimum 30 days by procedure
Outcome of review
- Rejected. If any reviewer rejects the manuscript, it is rejected.
- Accepted with major revision. Otherwise, if any reviewer asks for a major revision, the author resubmits the full manuscript.
- Accepted with minor revision. Otherwise, if any reviewer asks for a minor revision, the author answers the reviewers' queries.
- Accepted as it is. Only when every reviewer accepts is the manuscript accepted as it is.
Stage 5: Revision to acceptance
Median days from the first post-review decision to acceptance, for manuscripts accepted after revision.
Reported once 10 decisions have been maden = 0 so far
Stage 6: Production and publication
Median days from acceptance to first online publication. The corresponding author approves the proof of the web version before publication.
Reported once 10 articles have been publishedn = 0 so far
Minimum 20 days by procedure
Stage 7: Publication
The article is published open access as the version of record, with its DOI, and its metadata is sent to indexing services.

Definitions and method
- Figures cover the 12 months to the date shown, assigned to the period by the date of the event that ends each interval.
- A figure is reported only once at least 10 qualifying events have occurred in the period.
- Figures are recomputed from the journal's records continuously and are at most ten minutes old.
- The journal’s procedures set minimum intervals between certain steps, so several medians cannot fall below those minimums; each is noted with its definition.
- Acceptance rate
- Manuscripts accepted as a share of all final decisions (accepted, rejected after review, and rejected at initial review) made in the period. Withdrawn manuscripts are excluded.
- Manuscripts received
- Manuscripts submitted to the journal in the period, including any later withdrawn.
- Views and downloads
- Article page views and PDF downloads in the period. Automated traffic, the journal's editorial staff and an article's own authors are not counted, and repeated access by the same reader to the same article on the same day counts once.
- Submission to editorial take-up
- Median days from submission until an editor takes the manuscript up for initial review.Not sooner than 2 days after submission.
- Initial editorial review
- Median days from editorial take-up to the first decision: sending for peer review or declining at initial review.Not sooner than 3 days after take-up.
- Double-blind peer review (first round)
- Median days from sending a manuscript for peer review to the first outcome communicated to the author.Not sooner than 30 days after sending for review.
- Revision to acceptance
- Median days from the first post-review decision to acceptance, for manuscripts accepted after revision.

Responsible use of metrics
Smart Technologies and Computational Research and its publisher, in keeping with the principles of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), hold that journal-level metrics are not a measure of the quality of an individual article, nor of the contribution of its authors. The figures on this page describe the journal’s editorial process and readership; research should be assessed on its own merits.
Article-level information — views, downloads, citations and the peer-review facts of each article — is shown on the article itself.
