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 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。
还有个状态是Rejected。希望不要出现。
其他库的状态，基本是大同小异，供参考：
