To speed up the process its critical to make an enquiry here. A polite "I noticed that the paper is still in status X, suggesting that the handling editor may have not seen the assignment. I'd just like to verify that the handling editor has acknowledged the assignment, and is considering reviewers or whether to send it to reviewers?"

Apr 21, 2017 at 15:22 comment added alpha_989 My advisor always starts with "Dear Dr. Editor, Thanks you for your service. We appreciate it very much." I think people should understand that being a reviewer or a Editor is kindof pretty thankless sometimes. Editors probably get paid a little bit, reviewers dont get anything, other than the fact that they can claim to be a reviewer of a journal.
