Submission to Classical and Quantum Gravity: Awaiting Decision After 1 Month

In summary, the speaker submitted a paper to the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, which initially had a status of "awaiting referee reports" for one month. However, it has now been two weeks since the paper has been on the status of "awaiting decision," leading the speaker to question if this is a bad sign. The response is that a delay of two weeks is not uncommon and could be due to various reasons such as the editor being busy or on holiday. In the experience of the speaker, a few months between submission and final acceptance is normal, and anything less than six months is not unusual. Therefore, it is advised to not read too much into the current status and to continue working on other projects in the meantime.

I doesn't mean anything. Two weeks with the editors is not unusual.
It could simply be that the person who has this on his/her desk is too busy, on holiday, ill etc etc.

These things do take time; a few months between submission to final acceptance is nothing unusual.

Anything less than 6 months sounds normal in my experience.

There's no point in trying to read anything into something like this. The paper is awaiting a decision. Work on something else in the meantime.
