Paper status with Associate editor after Under review I have a submitted manuscript to IEEE transactions. The paper was under review for 4 months. Then, it has been with associate editor" for 2 week now. How this status can be explained?
The editor has received the reviews and s/he is in the process of judging them (sometimes maybe s/he will decide on a new review, but not likely) and communicating the decision to you. Sometimes this can take few weeks for various personal reasons (for example heavy work load on the editor). I expect that very soon you will receive the answer.
