Q: How long does the revision review take?
I submitted my article to an ASME journal on May 1, 2021. On Jun 16, I received an email from AE: My recommendation is that your manuscript be accepted under the condition. On Jun 20, I submitted the revised article. On Jun 25, the status changed to Under Review right after i sent email to AE, and has remained so since then. Since the reviewer requires small changes (clear some introduction background, and correct grammar), I think it is most likely minor revision and the review time should be shorter than the first review. Should I sent email to AE to ask about the revision status?
Thank you for your question. We understand that the journal will consider your manuscript for acceptance after making minor revisions. There are several factors that influence the time taken to come to a decision post submission of a revised manuscript. Generally, the decision process is much quicker in case of revision submissions compared to initial submissions but during this pandemic there can be a delay if the reviewers are currently not available to review the manuscript. We recommend waiting for at least 2-3 weeks from the time of resubmission to write to the AE to check the status of the manuscript.
Hope this helps. We hope your hear from the AE soon!
