Hello! I have submitted my paper to a journal and it has been 1.5 months since then. How long should I normally wait for the editor’s response, and when should I send a reminder email? Also, if I send a reminder email, what kind of message is appropriate and would not offend the journal editor? Please give me advice.

I conducted a study on the beneficial effects of a Chinese herbal medicine in patients with osteoporosis. The results seem positive but the statistical tests indicate only a weak correlation for the benefits of treatment.

How should I position my results?
