Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Which SCI/SSCI journals in 2025 CAS Zone 4 review fastest?

How many journals does this ranking cover?

This category contains 2400 target journals; 2362 meet the public ranking threshold of at least 5 complete received/accepted date records.

How are review days calculated?

Review days equal the acceptance date minus the received date; publication dates are not used as substitutes. Each journal page retains paper, DOI, PDF, and publisher-page links for verification.

Where do the CAS categories in the ranking come from?

The 2025 CAS field from the 2026 Emerging Journal master list is used first. The separate 2025 CAS source table fills gaps only when the master value is empty; missing values remain empty when both sources lack data.
