Elsevier 投稿各種狀態總結
1. Submitted to Journal
當上傳結束后，顯示的狀態是Submitted to Journal，這個狀態是自然形成的無需處理。
2. With editor
如果在投稿的時候沒有要求選擇編輯，就先到主編那，主編會分派給別的編輯。這當中就會有另兩個狀態：
3. Editor assigned
4. Editor Declined Invitation
如果編輯接手處理了就會邀請審稿人了。
5. Reviewer(s) invited
如果審稿人接受那就會是以下狀態：
6. Under review
這應該是一個漫長的等待。當然前面各步驟也可能很慢的，要看編輯的處理情況。
如果被邀請審稿人不想審，就會decline，編輯會重新邀請別的審稿人。
7. required review completed
審稿結束，等編輯處理。
8. Decision in Process
到了這一步就快要有結果了，編輯開始考慮是給修改還是直接拒，當然也有可能直接接受的，但可能性很小，呵呵。
9. Minor revision/Major revision
這個時候可以稍微慶祝一下了，問題不大了，因為有修改就有可能。具體怎么改就不多說了，謙虛謹慎是不可少的。
10. Revision Submitted to Journal
又開始了一個循環。
11. Accepted
如果不要再審，只是小修改，編輯看后會馬上顯示這個狀態，但如果要再審也會有上面的部分狀態。一步會比較快，但也有慢的。看雜志的

under review可能是指編輯部的初審這一關，然后就是選擇和確定審稿人（Awaiting Reviewer selection），並等待審稿人的確認（Awaiting Reviewer Assignment），最后就是審稿人的審稿了（Awaiting Reviewer Scores）。
Awaiting Reviewer selection和Awaiting Reviewer Assignment都是指正在尋找或指定reviewers。該過程是審稿一審階段最耗時、最費編輯精力的事情。
1. 一般雜志復審與否與編輯部流程關系很大，有的會強制邀請提出major revision的審稿復審的，有的則修回后編輯部直接決定。復審與否還與專家第一次審稿的時候是不是同意復審有關。有些審稿專家會要求修回之后讓他看看，這樣編輯部也會讓他看了。當然，有些編輯自身學術水平比較高，作者稿件修改之后自己直接決定了。
不知道樓上所提的雜志怎樣，要具體看待了。
2.如果2個專家意見相左的話，第一次審，一般就有第三個審稿專家參與了。復審意見相左，一般不會再找一個新專家提意見，編輯部會在內部討論決定。
“Editor assigned”是 已經為你的文章確定好了編輯，下一步這個編輯會對你的稿件進行進一步的處理，也可以說編輯從專家庫（或者作者建議的審稿人名單）里聯系了適合評審該稿件的審稿專家，並且這寫專家表示有時間、願意為雜志評審該稿件。 當審稿人登錄系統獲取了待審稿件后，系統就自動將狀態改為"under review".“Editor assigned”再次出現說明下一步這個編輯會對你的稿件再進行進一步的處理，

剛提交的狀態
2. Manuscript received by Editorial Office

Editor assigned是把你的文章分給一個編輯處理了。
3.2. Editor Declined Invitation 婉拒。
4.隨后也會有2種狀態
4.1. Decision Letter Being Prepared 就是編輯沒找審稿人就自己決定了，那根據一般經驗，對學生來說估計會掛了. 1）英文太差，編輯讓修改。 2）內容太差，要拒了。除非大牛們直接被接收。
4.2. Reviewer invited 找到審稿人了，就開始審稿
5. Under review
這應該是一個漫長的等待。當然前面各步驟也可能很慢的，要看編輯的處理情況。
