Scientifica (Hindawi)

The "distinguished editorial board" is divided into 64 subject areas from "Allergy" to "Zoology" with no editor-in-chief listed for any group or for the overall mass. Cairo-based Hindawi Publishing claims to have "more than 30,000 internationally-recognized Editors". "Scientifica currently has an acceptance rate of 14%" and an "average time between submission and final decision [of] 22 days."
