t1racyjacks Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I sent my paper to JLT (journal of literary theory) and got an email saying it was 'under review' (dated nov 6 2012). I don't know their time frame for reviewing works, but when do you think it's ok to ask them about the status of the paper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eigen Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 In my field, I probably wouldn't say anything for about 3 mos... I know some of the humanities fields are longer, up to 6 mos-1 year, from what I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzylogician Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 In my field - Good: 2-3 months. Normal: 3-6 months. Happens more often than should but is not considered ideal: 6-12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riotbeard Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I would say the earliest you would to contact somebody would be about four months after you submit the paper, but you should really probably wait six months.
