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 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。
還有個狀態是Rejected。希望不要出現。
其他庫的狀態，基本是大同小異，供參考：
