Educational Technology Quarterly

Submissions have increased substantially, projecting to 143 annually compared to the historical 32/year, while our acceptance rate has decreased from 49% to 26%, reflecting more selective quality standards. Most remarkable is our processing efficiency, with initial editorial decisions now occurring in just 2 days compared to the historical 133 days—a 98.5% improvement. The report provides a comprehensive analysis of our accelerated review process, with acceptance decisions expedited by 50% (92 vs. 183 days) and rejection decisions by 58% (38 vs. 91 days). These metrics demonstrate our commitment to maintaining rigorous quality standards while dramatically improving the author experience through rapid, efficient manuscript processing.
