Analysis of publication speed of anesthesiology journals: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Publication speed is one of the critical factors affecting authors' preference to a journal for manuscript submission. The publication time of submitted manuscripts varies across journals and specialty.

Objectives

Several bibliometric studies in various fields of medicine, except in anesthesiology, have addressed the issue of publication speed and factors that influence the publication speed. We aimed to identify factors affecting the publication speed of indexed anesthesiology journals.

Method
