Benefits
of Publishing
Reduced
publication times
Elsevier online Editorial
System (EES) enhances the productivity of scientists, researchers and
practitioners by reducing publication times and decreasing workload per
articles. The average time between article submission and acceptance
for publication has dropped from 26 to 17 weeks. Editor handling time
has also been reduced by 25% which means that on average, editors
handle 20-30% more papers in the same amount of time.

Elsevier, as a commercial publisher, is independent from governments,
lobby groups and other stakeholders in the discourse of science. This
ensures independence and publisher neutrality and continues to build
upon a long tradition of publishing.
