I thought I would revive this thread - if it ever had life
Been doing a bit of research on publication of medical papers and these are my thoughts:
A simple paper with no peer review published in a down and dirty online Journal = 6 - 7 weeks Better quality journal + 2 - 4 weeks minimum Peer review + 2 weeks for something simple + 2 or more if not so simple or suitable reviewer (the journals have panels) not immediately available. Rewrite taking into consideration feedback + 2 - 3 weeks Controversy + 2? Editing for publication + 2 Weeks Acceptance for publication to actual Publication + 2 weeks + 2 or more for better regarded journals (more submissions).
So if submitted on time end of Feb + 16 - 26 weeks
That makes publication due from 24 May to 9th August is within normal scope.
Assuming it will be peer reviewed, in a better class of journal, not too much controversy, the reviewer didn't come down with covid etc
I reckon 7 + 3 + 4 + 2 + 2 +2 = 20 weeks which makes it due middle of July. The company said May but it is not in their control.
So really anytime in the next 4 weeks is my best estimation.
