The summaries below shows that for published articles, the time from first submission to accept averages at under a year. Just a very small number of 2021 submissions await a final decision, and even for 2022 submission, the majority of articles have received an accept/reject decision.

For published articles in the years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, the boxplots show time from submission to accept by year of publication. Median number of days to accept is under a year. The barchart on the right refers to articles submitted in the years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and reports the status as as rejected, in progress or accepted/published as of 2023-03-13. Papers labelled ‘in progress’ are under review or awaiting revisions.
