Decision in Process投稿状态解读

网上很多人认为，“Decision in Process”就意味着主编很可能会拒掉你的文章，实际上，这种观点是错误的。Decision in Process真正的含义是，决定已经作出，只是投稿系统在走流程，所以最终决定还没到作者这里。

下面这段话，解释比较合理：

The state "Decision in Process" means a “Decision” has been made by editorial office, which can be anything, from acceptance (接收), through minor revision or acceptance upon revision (小修) and revise or rejection resubmit de novo (大修) to rejection (拒绝), you just did not know the result yet. Guessing the result at this moment is a waste of your precious time.

在一些投稿系统中，Decision in Process = Editorial Evaluation。

关于等待时间，一般这个状态会持续3-5天，或许更长。
