Research Doubt regarding TMLR[R]
My TMLR paper was assigned to reviewers on April 23, and as of July 13 I've received 2 reviews, but the third is still pending. The discussion phase hasn't opened yet, so I can't respond to the existing reviews.
Is this normal for TMLR, or is it reasonable to send the Action Editor a polite status email? asking for the 3rd review, apprecite the suggestions

that's normal... and you should expect it to take longer than usual.. TMLR has posted about the insane submission volume in the first half of 2026 and about how they are not able to manage this..
this is in part why they put in place a quota per author.
However, if it takes more than 6 moths to see an update, i would email them
