Awaiting editorial office processing for more than 22 days, Is it appropriate to contact? I have recently submitted an article to a tylor &amp; francis journal which uses ScholarOne.

My co-author submitted the article 22 days ago, and since then, the status has remained as "Awaiting Editorial Office Process".

Is it alright that it hasn't been changed for so long?
Should I contact the editor?

How long does the process take normally?

NOTE: thank you for suggesting this page "What does the typical workflow of a journal look like?", I have read this topic. Unfortunately in this paper the average time for "Awaiting Editorial Office Process" was considered to be "A FEW WORK DAYS". My problem is I have waited for 22 days. If anyone have had the same experience, I would really appreciated answering me. Thank You.
Yes, you should. 22 days before the paper is passed on to an editor is out of the ordinary. It's true that it's summer and people might be on holiday, but this is the publisher we're talking about - even if some of them are on holiday, they should have people to cover. Journals don't close shop when the staff are on holiday.

I would contact the publisher. If you know the desk editor's email address that would be the best person to write to; if not, you can use Taylor &amp; Francis's author services contact form.
