Q: Is it normal for a PLOS ONE manuscript to remain at “Editor Invited” for more than three weeks?
Detailed Question -
My PLOS ONE manuscript has remained at “Editor Invited” since 17 June 2026, after passing the technical check. I understand this may mean the journal is still inviting an Academic Editor. I have already sent a polite status inquiry to the Journal Office but have not received a response yet. Is it normal for this status to last more than three weeks? When would it be appropriate to follow up again?
