国外期刊投稿过程以及常用术语

投稿状态术语
1. Submitted to Journal
      当上传结束后，显示的状态是Submitted to Journal，这个状态是自然形成的无需处理。
2. 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. Editor assigned
4. Editor Declined Invitation
    如果编辑接手处理了就会邀请审稿人了。
5. Reviewer(s) invited
    如果审稿人接受那就会是以下状态：
6. 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。
7. required review  completed
    审稿结束，等编辑处理。
8. Decision in Process
    到了这一步就快要有结果了，编辑开始考虑是给修改还是直接拒，当然也有可能直接接受的，但可能性很小，呵呵。
9. 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。
10. Revision Submitted to Journal
    又开始了一个循环。
11. Accepted
    如果不要再审，只是小修改，编辑看后会马上显示这个状态，但如果要再审也会有上面的部分状态。一步会比较快，但也有慢的。看杂志的
