Hi all,

I submitted an article to a journal in July. I was told I would receive feedback in September (it's for a special issue of a journal so they had set deadlines supposedly). I sent a polite email mid October and the editor replied saying that they had received feedback from one peer reviewer but were waiting for the other as the peer reviewer had been away.

How long would you leave it before chasing up again?

Seems like you are in a similar dilemma, Button - perhaps the following link may help:

Apparently, journals take their own time in getting back to authors despite giving a specific deadline! It is so frustrating and difficult to be patient, right?

Anyway, hoping that your issue gets resolved soon! Good luck (up).
