Q: How long does ''With editor'' status take after submitting revised manuscript?
I have submitted my manuscript in one of the top journal of Elsevier. I got review reports after one month of submission. Both reviewers asked me to lengthen the introduction part and rewrite a convincing conclusion according to my research. Moreover, careful revision for grammar and typos have been suggested. I sent the review reports addressing all the comments raised by reviewers and letter to editor within a week. Since I submitted my manuscript after revision, the status shows ''With editor'' for more than 2 weeks already, when can I expect the outcome?
You are lucky, your submission seems to have progressed through the review process very fast. Receiving review reports within a month after submission is quite uncommon these days, unless it is a rapid publication journal. Since you have made all the necessary revisions, you need not worry. If the reviewers and editor are satisfied with the revisions, your paper is likely to be accepted. Meanwhile, you will have to be patient and wait for some time. In case of major revisions, the paper is often sent for review, in which case, it might take some more time. Even if it is not sent for external review, the editor will evaluate the manuscript carefully once again based on the reviewer comments and your revisions. This can take a few more weeks. If there is no status change even after a month, you can consider writing to the editor,
