Hence, this study analyzed the average duration for Civil Engineering journals based on the points allocations in Poland’s Ministry of Science and Higher Education (MEiN) list. A total of 30 journals were randomly selected and grouped based on the regional points allocation. The date of submission to the date of acceptance (SA) and the date of acceptance to the date of publication (SP) were extracted from 3557 articles. Version 26 IBM Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze the average duration for the dataset. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was used for the analysis of the relationship between the points allocation and the Scopus impact factors (IF), Web of Science impact factors (WoS IF), source normalized impact per paper (SNIP), SA, and SP. The results show that the average duration SA and SP for journals with 200, 140, and 100 points within the 5 years are 305.28, 285.25, 317.93 days, respectively, while for journals with 70, 40, and 20 points, the average duration is 180.50, 324.60, 206.41 days. Further analysis shows a statistically significant difference between the Scopus IF, WoS IF, SNIP, and allocated points. They indicate that these journal metrics affect journal categorization.

INTRODUCTION Pre-college is an academic experience that aids high school students to prepare in transition for the college life. Research publication is not a common phenomenal at this phase of the students’ career. Though, these students are more likely to pursue a career in engineering after completing their pre-college studies according to Miller et al. (2020). The task at this level is tailored towards commitment to research, collaboration, and engineering literacy with the objective of greater
