The acceptance rate/percentage of any academic journal/conference depends upon many parameters. Some of the critical parameters are listed below.

• The demand or interest of researchers/scientists in publishing in a specific Journal/Conference.
• Peer review complexity and timeline.
• The mix of unsolicited and invited submissions.
• The time it takes from manuscript submission to final publication.
• And Many More.

It is essential to understand that the acceptance rate/rejection rate of papers varies among journals. Some Journals considers all the manuscripts submissions as a basis of acceptance rate computation. On the other hand, few consider the only manuscripts sent for peer review or few even not bother about the accurate maintenance of total submissions. Hence, it can provide a rough estimation only.
