Fast publishing Scopus indexed journals
Some Scopus journals report a short time from submission to first decision. Those times are what publishers state, not a promise. Peer review always takes time, so a journal that guarantees acceptance within days is a warning sign.
Signs a "fast Scopus journal" offer is not genuine
- Acceptance is guaranteed, or promised within a few days.
- You are contacted by an agent who charges for "Scopus publication".

Questions about fast Scopus journals
Which Scopus journals publish fastest?
It depends on the subject. Actual times vary from paper to paper, and a journal's stated time is an average, not a promise.
Can anyone guarantee publication in a Scopus journal?
No. Acceptance depends on peer review. Treat any guarantee as a warning sign.
How do I confirm a journal is still in Scopus?
Search for it in the Scopus source list, check that coverage is current, and compare the website address with the one Scopus shows.
Is a conference a faster route?
Not always. A paper reaches Scopus only if the proceedings are published in a series Scopus covers, so check that series first.
