Q: How long should I wait after submitting for a minor revision?

Detailed Question -

I submitted a minor revision for my paper based on the comments by the editor and Reviewers 1 and 2. It has been over two weeks, but the status is still displayed as ‘Awaiting Admin Processing.’ How much more time should I wait for a response?

Answer:

As you submitted during the holiday period, that’s probably the reason for the delay. Editors and reviewers would have gotten back a week or so ago, and still be catching up; a few may be yet to get back. So, based on when all are back and available for the final check, the status will change and the manuscript move to the final review stage.

Anyway, as yours was a minor revision, you probably don’t have much need to worry, which actually may be just the reason you wish to hear the decision on your paper. :) So, you could wait a week or so. If you still don’t hear from them by then, you could send them a mail requesting an update.

Hope that helps. All the best for the next updates/stages!
