| Readable Markdown | ## Why submit?
Frontiers' journals were purposely designed to address many of the issues that authors face in traditional publishing models.
Fairness of review, speed of publication, and widespread visibility are just a few of the benefits available for Frontiers' authors.
## Fast, transparent review
All articles submitted to Frontiers are subjected to review without selection bias. Our [peer review system](https://www.frontiersin.org/about/peer-review) is unbiased, efficient and transparent.
- An average of 90 days from submission to acceptance due to our innovative collaborative review forum
- Only the top researchers in your field are admitted to our editorial boards to ensure that the peer review adds value to your research
- Our review template ensures that the review process is comprehensive and objective
- Real-time interaction between the author and reviewers speeds up the review process enabling research findings to be published timely.
- The community reviewers' identities, which remain confidential throughout the review process, are revealed upon article publication and the reviewers are acknowledged for their contribution to the publication.
## Rapid publication
Authors can quickly claim their discovery through rapid paper pending abstract publications. Articles are available immediately after publication so other researchers can build on the findings without delays, speeding up scientific progress. An average of 12 days from acceptance until the final typeset document.
## Article impact
Our innovative tools and solutions raise the visibility and impact of research so more people can benefit from your discoveries.
Our suite of impact metrics provides the most advanced feedback available in terms of article readership, citation statistics, comment posting and ratings. Authors may follow the impact of their published articles via this unprecedented set of analytics tools. These data are then translated into powerful indicators regarding the academic excellence and social relevance of each research work.

## Article promotion
Articles are widely promoted through email alerts and, when appropriate, press releases, further increasing the accessibility and spreading of every research work.
## Top researchers as editors
All appointed members of our editorial boards are selected among the best researchers in their areas of expertise. The editors' efforts in improving the paper during review and their names' disclosure on accepted articles contribute certifying that each article is a landmark of the highest quality, and therefore increasing the authors' reputation.
