Researcher Q&A

Hello Lindsay – Welcome to the forum! Now, you have a very simple question. So, we shall provide a very simple answer. :-)

You seem to need help broadly with two things: writing an article (or coming up with a topic/idea for it) and then developing visuals and graphs for it.

This may also depend on the journal. But yes, letters to the editor can take longer to be assigned.

There might actually be two elements to consider here. One is that of the diagram for this paper. The other is the matter of the other paper.

This dual status is a bit unusual, but it does happen.
