Aims and Scope
The aim of the Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications journal is to disseminate state-of-the-art research and development results in this rapidly growing research area, to facilitate the deployment of P2P networking and applications, and to bring together the academic and industry communities, with the goal of fostering interaction to promote further research interests and activities, thus enabling new P2P applications and services. The journal not only addresses research topics related to networking and communications theory, but also considers the standardization, economic, and engineering aspects of P2P technologies, and their impacts on software engineering, computer engineering, networked communication, and security.

The journal serves as a forum for tackling the technical problems arising from both file sharing and media streaming applications. It also includes state-of-the-art technologies in the P2P security domain.

Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications publishes regular papers, tutorials and review papers, case studies, and correspondence from the research, development, and standardization communities. Papers addressing system, application, and service issues are encouraged.

The speed is average, with a minor revision in the middle and acceptance after resubmission. The entire process took about six months. From what I saw in the comments for this journal, some take around a year, which I think might be due to the time it takes for the editor to find reviewers. During this period, it seems that the editor gradually notified eight reviewers until a total of four reviewers confirmed their review, at which point the search for reviewers stopped. This is because I noticed that the reviewer numbers jumped from #1 to #8, so I assume at least eight reviewers received my paper, but more than half of them did not want to review it. That's why the first review took so long, and the status repeatedly switched between "reviews completed" and "under review," likely due to the process of finding reviewers. So, if you're submitting to this journal with a niche research area, it's better to be cautious as you might end up wasting time during the reviewer search process.
