Why am still under review?

[vastlife2002]

I have posted my first articles one on 21st then on 23rd. Usually i get response within a day or two, while here i have been checking for around thrice times in a day and it is still under review. I m really confused about are still being read by the editor or still not read yet. Please help!

I wouldn't be too concerned if you only submitted them on the 21st and 23rd. I also submitted one on the 21st that is still in review. It can take around a week sometimes for the regular articles to get reviewed depending on how many are in the cue. The articles submitted to the public and private requests are given priority, so they are reviewed very quickly, but on the other side, if there's lots of public and private requests, it can take a little longer for the regular articles to be reviewed. You'll receive an email letting you know when your article has been reviewed.
