1. The meaning of abbreviations seen in submissions
When submitting articles to English journals, you often see some nouns, such as: AE, TE, ED and ADM.
1. AE is the abbreviation of Associate Editor (AE): the associate editor mainly appears in the final review process of the manuscript, and organizes and considers the paper based on the review opinions returned by the external review experts, and provides feedback after evaluation. Give the editor a suggestion. This suggestion is very important and is a decisive factor in the editor's judgment of whether the paper can be accepted.
2. TE means submission (To Editor, TE):
3. ED is the abbreviation of Editor:
4. ADM (ADM: Administrator) is equivalent to the executive editor of the editorial department. Most of the emails sent by general editors to authors are from ADM. ADM is the reviewer responsible for allocating manuscript numbers and revising various review stages among magazine editors. status and date.
Common ones include the following:
5. Authors: Authors:
6. EIC (Editor in Chief): The most powerful editor-in-chief in the magazine. The editor-in-chief is the important person who ultimately determines the future direction of the paper. To put it simply, all papers published in journals need to be approved by the editor-in-chief.

The process in which the above nouns appear is:

2. Interpretation of the status after Article submission
- awaiting admin. procession Generally, the editor-in-chief will be arranged after 3-4 days.
- awaiting reviewer assignment Waiting for a designated reviewer. The editor-in-chief is selecting reviewers and waiting for the reviewers’ response whether they agree to review the manuscript. Usually within a week. Look at the reviewer’s response speed.
- awaiting reviewer scores Waiting for reviewer comments. There is generally a deadline for review. However, if the reviewer feels that there is not enough time, he or she can write to the editor to request an extension of the review period. The length of this time depends on whether the reviewer is free to read your article and whether he is punctual.
- awaiting AE assignment Waiting for AE assignment. The editorial department is selecting/contacting AE. Usually about 1-3 days;
- awaiting AE recommendation Waiting for AE recommendation. Generally AE is more punctual. But the results are basically given within the last day or two of the deadline.
- awaiting EIC decision – exciting times. Awaiting the editor's decision. Usually 3-4 days.
- If there is communication, there will be no steps 4 and 5.
Some journals are in the following status
- Submitted to Journal When the upload is completed, the displayed status is Submitted to Journal. This status is formed naturally and does not need to be processed.
- With editor If you are not asked to choose an editor when submitting your manuscript, go to the editor first, and the editor will assign it to other editors. There will be two other states: ① Editor assigned editing points; ② Editor Declined Invitation The editor declined the invitation. At this time, the editor-in-chief had to reassign the submitted article to other editors.
- Reviewer(s) invited indicates that the editor has taken over the process and is inviting reviewers. Sometimes this process can take a long time, and if the reason is that the editor has never found a suitable reviewer, the contributor can recommend reviewers to the editor.
- Under review The reviewer's comments have been uploaded, indicating that the reviewer has accepted the review and is reviewing it. This should be a long wait (journals usually limit the review time for reviewers, usually about one month). Of course, the previous steps may also be very slow, depending on the editor's processing. If the invited reviewer does not want to review, it will be declined and the editor will re-invite other reviewers.
- required review completed The review is completed and is waiting for editing. This process can take as short as a few days or as long as indefinitely.
- At this step of the Decision in Process, the results are about to come out. The editor starts to consider whether to revise or reject it directly. Of course, it is also possible to accept it directly, but the possibility is very small, haha.
- Minor revision/Major revision Minor revision/major revision, you can celebrate a little at this time, because it is possible to make changes. I won’t go into details about how to change it. Humility and prudence are indispensable (because it will usually be sent to reviewers after revision, so you must carefully answer every question of each reviewer, your attitude must be humble, and you must Let the reviewer feel that every question he raised is of high quality, and then respond to his questions one by one. Modify those that can be modified, and give reasons for those that cannot be modified, and list them all in the article. It is best to tell which paragraph or line of the document has been revised. Remember: reducing trouble for the reviewer means reducing trouble for yourself! Also note: Sometimes, reviewers will implicitly say in their revision comments that they ask you to read it carefully. At this time, you should pay attention to certain documents. Some of them may have been published by the reviewers themselves. In this case, you'd better cite them in your revised manuscript). There are also countless examples of rejections after revision. .
- Revision Submitted to Journal Revise and resubmit, waiting for review by the editor.
- Accepted If there is no need for re-review and it is just a small modification, this status will be displayed immediately after the editor reads it. However, if it is to be re-reviewed, some of the above status will also be displayed. One step will be faster, but some will be slower. Reading magazines.
- Rejected I believe everyone will be very depressed when they see Rejected. But don’t be too discouraged. Be patient and read the review comments. Generally, reviewers will give useful suggestions. I believe you will gain something after reading them.
3. Several results after article review
decision is divided into five levels
- －Accept
- accept after minor revision(accept after minor revision, withour re-review does not need to be submitted for review)
- reconsideration after major revision. (Submit for review after major revision, that is, you need to go through the review process 3-6 again)
- Reject and resubmit (The current status of the paper cannot be accepted, but it can be revised and resubmitted. It needs to go through the review process 1-6 again)
- reject (no hope, change your vote)
