Let me show and shortly describe the simple schema of the way of a paper through the system after its submission.

让我简要介绍一篇稿子在提交之后经历的审稿过程。

1、Awaiting admin checklist—— Administrator checks if the paper contains all necessary parts and is suitable for a review. （Administrator 会进行初步审查核实稿件是否包含了所有必要的内容，决定稿子是否适合送审。）

2、Awaiting AE assignement ——Editor-in-chief (EIC) chooses the associate editor (AE) responsible for the review process. （主编会选择一个副编辑对接下来的审稿流程负责，此人非常重要 ，他会在审稿人意见的基础上对文章作个综合评价后，给主编一个recommendation。一般主编都会按照AE的意见写最终的decision letter。）

3、Awaiting reviewer selection——AE invites at least two reviewers.（副编辑至少邀请两个审稿专家审稿。）

4、Awaiting reviewer assignment ——Reviewers decide if they accept or decline the invitation (in the second case AE invites another reviewer). （审稿专家决定接受审稿邀请，如果不接受，副编辑会邀请其他专家。）

5、Awaiting reviewer scores ——Reviewers are working on their reviews. （审稿专家审稿。）

6、Awaiting AE recommendation ——The paper received the sufficient number of reviews (usually 2) and, on their basis, AE makes recommendation to EIC.（收到足够的审稿意见，在此基础上副编辑为主编发推荐信。）

7、Awaiting EIC decision——Taking into account the reviewers´comments, AE recommendation and his own opinion, EIC makes a final decision about the paper (accept – revision – reject). （主编会综合审稿专家、副主编以及他本人的意见，对一篇稿子做出最后的决定。）
