Answer:

Here are some tips that may help you decide if now is the right time to email the editor.

  • You may first check the journal website for any information about their response time after first submission. Sometimes a journal generally takes longer to get back to all authors. If you find no information, wait for another day or two.
  • Also, check the online system before emailing to see if there is a way to verify the status of the manuscript or send a message to the editor online.
  • If you do not see any changes to the status of your manuscript, you can send an email. Write an email to the editor, politely following up about the status of your submission. Say that you are just writing to check that the submission has been received and there was nothing else needed from your end.
