It is normal for the assignment of editors to take one to one and a half months. The overall cycle of the paper is usually more than half a year, so there is no need to rush, just wait patiently.

It's been almost half a month for me and I'm still in Editor Invited. Is this normal?

It's really slow. My research direction is about combining optimization algorithms with engineering. The paper was submitted on November 22nd last year, and it's been exactly 4 months today. My RA has been for three months already. I sent an email and they said they have been looking for reviewers. Are there very few reviewers in the field of combining optimization algorithms with engineering applications? I'm going crazy.

Just follow the approximate format of his published article for editing. There will be a specialized formatting editor for typesetting and editing after acceptance. As long as the format is roughly correct, it will be fine.

Can anyone tell me what's going on with the editor invites that have been pending for a month now? I've sent an email asking about it, and they said it's with the subject editor, but there hasn't been any progress. What could be the possible reasons for this?

Why doesn't this journal have a LaTeX template? They only provide a Word template.
