According to the Editorial Manager online system, my manuscript is "With the Editor" since February.
I find that this is a very long time (more than 4 months) to be sitting with the editor, without any peer review.
I have tried to contact the journal as well as the Editor in Chief and other members of the editorial board via using the journal's online correspondence system, and independent email addresses for all editors and members of the editorial board that I could find.
I have not received a response despite multiple efforts over 3 months.
I do not wish to withdraw the manuscript in the case that it may be undergoing peer review (although I doubt it is) and I do not want to submit it elsewhere at the same time as it is unethical.
Could anyone help with how I can get in contact with someone from the journal re the status of my manuscript?
