You would be surprised at how many people don\u2019t know exactly what happens once they hit the \u201csubmit\u201d button and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/manuscript-submission-readiness-tools-esl-researcher\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">complete their <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">manuscript submission<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Finding out how to <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">track your submission<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> at your chosen journal is obviously a key requirement for every author.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">There are 3 <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">stages of manuscript publication<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">: <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">before submission, the editorial process, and post-publication. I won\u2019t dive into the details of preparing your manuscript <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">before submission<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, but it goes without saying that after selecting the appropriate journal, you need to carefully follow the <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">manuscript submission<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> guidelines and comply with basic requirements such as formatting (use a template if applicable), the maximum length of the article, recommended article structure, language editing, and proofreading. This may be a nerve-wracking process, but nothing as hard as finalizing your research.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After you have followed the steps and successfully completed your <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">manuscript submission<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, it enters a journal editorial process, from pre-assessment to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/types-of-peer-review-in-academic-publishing\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">peer reviewing and revisions<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Processing times vary, but each journal provides an estimate of \u201cfirst decision\u201d based on an average. All journals have an online platform where you can track where your submission is in the <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">manuscript publishing<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> journey. You can check this effectively in your \u2018Author Main Menu\u2019 account, but first you need to understand the various stages after <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">manuscript submission<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and the statuses displayed, which I have summarized into five simple but mutually exclusive steps.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"%1.\" data-font=\"Calibri\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[65533,0],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;%1.&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">AOR.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> The acknowledgement of receipt is straightforward after <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">manuscript submission<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.

Then, a \u2018Submitted to Journal\u2019 status will be displayed.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Initial quality check.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> All articles are checked upon submission by journal editors to make sure that it contains everything needed for the peer reviewing process.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"%1.\" data-font=\"Calibri\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[65533,0],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;%1.&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Internal editorial evaluation.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> A member of the Editorial Board, who is active in your research field, will then assess that your article adheres to the aims and scope of the journal. This is where you will see a \u2018With Editor\u2019 status. Rejection can be high at this stage (perhaps because the Editorial Team suggests changes prior to peer review), which is when it gets decided whether the <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">manuscript submitted<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> will be sent for peer review or be desk rejected. This status will cover the time spent inviting reviewers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"%1.\" data-font=\"Calibri\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[65533,0],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;%1.&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"4\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Peer review or under review.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Needless to say, this is when journal peer reviewers assess the scientific validity of your <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">manuscript submission<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. At the end of this \u2018Under Review\u2019 process, the reviewers need to deliver clear and concise reports to the Editor in Charge. The reports will be evaluated by the Editor before they reach you to make sure the article was fairly but thoroughly assessed. If this is not the case, there may be some delays, either caused by a poor peer-reviewing process or the lack of availability of article referees. Because most journals aim to improve the quality of your article, the Editorial Board makes sure your manuscript will make a great contribution to their journal, so this process is not taken lightly.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"%1.\" data-font=\"Calibri\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[65533,0],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;%1.&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"5\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Decision making stage.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> This \u2018Decision in Process\u2019 includes a decision to revise the submission (with a precise deadline and a point-by-point response) or a \u2018Completed &#8211; Accept\/Reject\u2019 decision (direct acceptance is rare, but if you do get one, well done!). During the \u2018Revise\u2019 stage, you can make the suggested\/required changes and then <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">submit your manuscript<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> again. Once you submit your revisions, it normally goes to the same reviewers (if available) or new referees who will assess that you made the recommended changes. Note that you can decline the revisions, but you will need to justify why you think your original <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">manuscript submission<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> does not need to be revised. Make sure that you have addressed all issues raised to speed up the acceptance for publication. However, if you are not happy with the handling of your manuscript (perhaps because it was rejected), you can withdraw your submission and select a new target journal or request it to be reconsidered (in this case, you will need to provide strong evidence that the decision was not fair based on scientific misunderstanding or reviewer bias). In some instances, the Editor may recommend that your submission is transferred to another journal, in which case your response to a \u2018Transfer Pending\u2019 status will be needed.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/?utm_source=contentmarketing&amp;utm_medium=r-blog&amp;utm_campaign=how-to-track-your-manuscript-submission-effectively\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4508 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Banner-2_Write-and-Publish.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Banner-2_Write-and-Publish.png 640w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Banner-2_Write-and-Publish-300x65.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Once the article has been accepted, it goes to the production department (and the status will change to \u201caccept\u201d or \u201ccompleted\u201d) and then through a journal-specific post-publication or marketing process, where the journal makes sure that your precious piece of work is found by the wider audience.
