Is there any difference between accepting date and First Online date? For example in the journal Acta Mathematicae Applicatae Sinica, English Series , I see this

Received, Revised, First Online

03 April 2014, 17 February 2015, 04 October 2018

from

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10255-018-0786-2

and there is no information about accepting date. I would like to know what is the difference between them and when papers are accepted in this journal.

the journal Applications of Mathematics only shows the Received, First Online date and not the revised date.

thanks

  • Why do you want to know? The Accepted date would likely be close to the Revised date, but there is no way to know if it's not specified. All you know is that it's between the Received and First Online dates. – Thomas Feb 25 '19 at 05:24
  • @Thomas I already sent a paper to this journal, if the accepting date is too long, I will withdraw the paper – M a m a D Feb 25 '19 at 06:00
  • Define "too long"... – Solar Mike Feb 25 '19 at 06:29
  • @SolarMike it has been 4 months the paper is submitted. and I can't wait more than 8 months. The submission to accepting process not to be more than 1 year. But I saw in the journal that papers submitted in 2013 and published in 2017. 4 years is too much. – M a m a D Feb 25 '19 at 07:08
  • @MorganRodgers accepted date is before revise date or after revise date? Please explain a bit more – M a m a D Feb 25 '19 at 07:09
  • @MorganRodgers The journal has a good option which tells you when the paper is submitted to editor, when editor submitted to the reviewer, when reviewer resubmitted to editor and so on. My paper is currently under review by the third reviewer. The first two reviewers have done with reviewing. All these things took about 3-4 months – M a m a D Feb 25 '19 at 07:18

Manuscripts are received, possibly revised (several times), maybe accepted, then online, and finally published (for non online-only venues), venues may show some or all of the dates of those events.
