Time to first decision is defined as time from submission to first decision for all original submissions decided within the prior calendar year. Revisions are not included.

Time to online publication is the average number of days a manuscript spends in Sage Production, beginning when the manuscript is exported from peer review and ending when the manuscript is published OnlineFirst.

Acceptance rate is based on manuscripts that have received final decisions of accept or reject in the prior calendar year. Counts for acceptances, rejections, and acceptance ratios are based on the date the decision is made, not the date the manuscript was submitted.
