Although most authors (ultimately)
appreciate of the rigorous editorial process at JSR, many may not realize that
JSR currently has no backlog for getting accepted manuscripts to publication.
What exactly does that
mean for authors? In short: Quicker publication.
To provide
perspective: your humble blogger and a student had a manuscript that was
accepted for publication in another well-respected society journal in
September, 2016. We were told it would appear in press in May 2017
(!!)...but we just heard that “oops we meant August 2017...maybe.” That’s a
year delay! Likewise, another competitor journal lists dates of
acceptance online. Their most recent issue (April 2017) shows that some
manuscripts that were accepted in August 2016 just now have their official
final version published.
In marked contrast, manuscripts at the Journal of Sedimentary
Research accepted for publication in April 2017 will appear in their
final published version online in May 2017! A matter of a few
weeks! Yowzah – Speedy Gonzales!
Now to be fair, faster
is not always better, and sometimes fast can be “too fast” and get you in trouble. And of course, there are some different (eh?) and interesting ways to speed up things. Some other journals post
accepted manuscripts online early, but that’s “kind of” a
pre-publication, but, as savvy JSR
PaperClip readers know, you can see a lot of fake stuff on the internet.
But
wouldn’t you just rather see your accepted manuscript published for real sooner
than later?! Submit it to JSR.
