Question Description:
Dear all,
I have submitted a manuscript in Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences on 20/04/2017. I have been checking the online submission status and 6 days back it was updated to "Required Reviews Completed". Till now, there is no further update and the status is unchanged. I am getting anxious as why there is no change in the status and how long it will take to inform the decision? Is it possible, the editor has not yet looked at the comments sent by the reviewers and hence it is taking time? Would it be advisable to mail the Editor giving a polite reminder?
Thanks in advance for your kind help.
Regards,
Subharthi
