Accelerated publication
Accelerated publication allows organizations to take control of their publication timelines, providing the reliable assurances needed when speed is important to your publication strategy.
Accelerated publication options
Taylor & Francis offers two accelerated publishing options, providing you with the flexibility depending on your needs.
These timelines rely on authors making revisions and returning required paperwork on schedule as per our Terms & Conditions. We can reliably meet the tight turnaround times by putting additional resources into monitoring and administering peer review and production processes. If further re-review is required, this will reset the timeline, with re-review prioritised as per the chosen track.
The two publication options that we offer are:
Accelerated Publication Plus
- Final decision in as little as 3 weeks
- Approximately 2 weeks or less for peer review
- 1 week for author revision
- Acceptance to online publication: 1-2 weeks with first proofs within 5 working days
Cost per article: £5500/$7000/€6200
Accelerated Publication
- Final decision in as little as 7 weeks
- Approximately 4 weeks or less for peer review
- 2 weeks for author revision
- Acceptance to online publication: 2-3 weeks with first proofs within 5 working days
Cost per article: £3000/$3900/€3400
Due to the costs incurred to meet Accelerated Publication timeframes, Taylor & Francis reserves the right to a partial charge of the Accelerated Publication fee if the author withdraws their paper. Please note that the Accelerated Publication service does not include open access; if authors choose open access, a separate additional fee (Article Publishing Charge – APC) will be applicable and the APC varies dependent on the journal.
Ensuring quality
Acceptance of articles in all journals offering Accelerated Publication is driven entirely by editorial considerations and independent peer review, ensuring the highest standards are maintained no matter the route to publication.
Authors are only charged if their paper is accepted; there is no charge for using the service if the paper is rejected. We reserve the right to a partial charge if the author withdraws their paper.
As a publisher, Taylor & Francis uphold the highest standards of ethical publishing and comply with ICMJE, COPE and GPP-22 guidelines.
