What to do to speed up the paper publication process? One month ago, I have submitted a paper in a journal under Taylor and Francis. 3/4 days later after the submission,  the status changed to &quot;under review&quot; and till now the status remained unchanged. I am in a hurry and need to get the final decision as soon as possible. What can I do to speed up the process? Should I send an email to the editor? How long it will be in &quot;under review&quot; stage?
You cannot speed up the process.  Everyone’s in a hurry to get their stuff published so your own situation is repeated with pretty much every submission.
More importantly, what are the odds the manuscript will be accepted as is, with no revisions?  Be ready to quickly make revisions, and be sure to address all concerns of the referees, and this will speed up the process.
