Q: How to give a polite email to the editor and chief editor to deliver my manuscript to the reviewer after 50 days?

Thank you for your question. We understand your anxiety! However, the decision on manuscript acceptance depends on several factors, such as availability and responsiveness of peer reviewers and the extent of revisions recommended. Most journals typically take around 4-12 weeks to share their final decision. We would suggest that you wait for another 2 weeks before writing to the journal for an update.

Additionally, for help with writing to the journal, you may find this handbook useful: How to communicate with the journal? Peer review comments, cover letter and more. The handbook is available from R Upskill, a sister brand providing learning programs for various aspects of a researcher’s work, including writing, submission, publication, and research promotion. Hope that helps. And hope you hear from the journal soon!
