Author satisfaction is increasing fast

Through our Author Survey, we are delighted to see how our initiatives to improve peer review and publication turnaround times have been noticed and appreciated by our journal authors, with author satisfaction in peer review, copy editing and typesetting speeds all increasing.

An increasing number of authors are choosing IWA Publishing journals due to our Open Access policies as well. In 2022 there was a 77% increase in authors naming Open Access as one of their main drivers in submitting their paper to our journals.

Our Net Promoter Score has grown year on year since 2019, and now stands at 77: a strong endorsement from our authors, who overwhelmingly agree that they would recommend IWA Publishing journals to their colleagues.
