国外期刊投稿中常见的术语
1. Submitted to Journal
刚提交的状态
2. Manuscript received by Editorial Office
就是你的文章到了编辑手里了,证明投稿成功
3. With editor如果在投稿的时候没有要求选择编辑,就先到主编那,主编会分派给别的编辑。这当中就会有另两个状态:
3.1. Awaiting Editor Assignment指派责任编辑
Editor assigned是把你的文章分给一个编辑处理了。
3.2. Editor Declined Invitation 婉拒。
4.随后也会有2种状态
4.1. Decision Letter Being Prepared 就是编辑没找审稿人就自己决定了,那根据一般经验,对学生来说估计会挂了. 1)英文太差,编辑让修改。 2)内容太差,要拒了。除非大牛们直接被接收。
4.2. Reviewer invited 邀请专家审稿
5. Under review
这应该是一个漫长的等待。当然前面各步骤也可能很慢的,要看编辑的处理情况。
如果被邀请审稿人不想审,就会decline,编辑会重新邀请别的审稿人。有的时候状态可能会在under review和with editor间反复,说明多数审稿人选择了拒审。
6. Required Reviews Completed
审稿人的意见已上传,审稿结束,等待编辑决定
7. wating Recommendation
评估审稿人的意见,随后你将收到编辑给你的decision
8. Minor revision/Major revision这个时候可以稍微庆祝一下了,问题不大了,因为有修改就有可能。具体怎么改就不多说了,谦虚谨慎是不可少的。
9. Revision Submitted to Journal
又开始了一个循环。
10. Accepted 恭喜了
11. Transfer copyright form 签版权协议
12. uncorrected proof 等待你校对样稿
13. In Press, Corrected Proof 文章在印刷中,且该清样已经过作者校对
14. Manuscript Sent to Production 排版
15 in production出版中
