In case for example the status 'With Editor' did not change for two months or so, Are there risks of any kind the corresponding author should be aware of when reaching the journal's editorial office to check the status?
How should he approach the journal?
The online status shows that the paper is with the editor, is it literally with him? is he reading it? is it kind of risky asking the editor to read the paper more quickly?
For some reason, when it says that your manuscript is with the editor, for some journals it actually means it has been passed unto the editor and possibly reviewers. This happened to me recently; the status of my paper on an elsevier journal website indicated that the paper was with the editor, which remained so until i got comments from reviewers, approximately 2 months after submission. No harm in asking.
