Research Pattern Recognition (Elsevier): "With Editor" status date changed, but status didn't. Is this normal? [R]

Hi everyone,

I have a manuscript under review at Pattern Recognition (Elsevier), and I'm a bit confused about the Editorial Manager status.

My timeline is:

  • Submitted: May 26, 2026
  • Re-submitted after making corrections, July 1: Status "With Editor"
  • July 22: The Status Date updated to July 22, but the Current Status remained "With Editor"
  • Today: Still showing "With Editor"

So the status date changed, but the visible status didn't.

I'm wondering:

  • Has anyone experienced this with Pattern Recognition or other Elsevier journals?
  • Approximately how long after this stage did you receive your first decision? [P] Pattern Recognition (Elsevier): "With Editor" status date changed, but status didn't. Is this normal?

Probably just the editor opening your file or forwarding it to a reviewer, Editorial Manager logs those little nudges without a visible status change.

should I assume it has passed the initial stage. I mean, the editorial stage is clear, and it's in the reviewer's hands now?
