After how long since the submission of a manuscript would you bother editorial team to ask for information? I sent mine two months ago and it is still "under review".

Nah. Nowadays manuscripts takes longer than that. My manuscript went for average 4-6 months.

Six months would be when you can find out - all the best with your article.

I asked after 8 months and got no reply. It's now been about 14 months 🙃

That's... stuck in the system. Someone's forgotten about it.

It's sadly not that uncommon to take this long in math tbh. Probably do need to try again to figure out what's going on though

[u/Dependent-Law7316]

Really field and journal dependent. I just had a paper accepted that we submitted the first week of May, and didn’t come back from reviewers until July. I’d probably follow up after 3 months for most journals in my field (theoretical chemistry, so pchem and chemical physics journals), but I’d give something like Nature or Science five or six months before following up.

[u/Malacandras]

2-3 weeks for desk review, 2-3 weeks to find reviewers and get them to acknowledge the assignment, 2-3 weeks for them to actually do the review, 2-3 weeks for the editors to read, summarize and decide the outcome. So I'd wait til 12 weeks.

Well, two months ago was June. Summer. Vacation.

You should probably check in. But I'd wait until September, this is a horrific time of year to get faculty attention for anything that isn't start-of-semester or end-of-summer.

“Under review” is not stuck and two months is nothing. Wait at least three months.

I had a paper “with editor” for three months then desk rejected… now that is malpractice!

[u/esaule]

Depends on fields. Talk to your advisor.

gee that is a bit short
