Answer:

We have published several articles related to selecting a suitable journal for publication. You may go through some of the following links to get more information regarding the same:

The time for peer-review - first decision, final decision and time for online publication will be included on the journal’s website sometimes, but not always. In some journals, you can determine this time if you go though some of the recently published articles; you will see that there will be times mentioned as “Received”, “Accepted,” and “Published”. This will give you a fair idea as to what would be the average time it would take to publish in each journal.

Alternatively, you can refer PubsHub (https://journalsandcongresses.pubshub.com/ph/home) to get the time from submission to acceptance in journals related to biology and medicine; you will need to register to access data on this website. The most authentic source for you to refer the impact factors of various journals at a glance would be on the Journal Citation Reports of Clarivate Analytics (https://jcr.incites.thomsonreuters.com/), but data on this website can be accessed up on subscription. You could check with your institution/university if they provide a subscription for the same.
