under review可能是指编辑部的初审这一关，然后就是选择和确定审稿人（Awaiting Reviewer selection），并等待审稿人的确认（Awaiting Reviewer Assignment），最后就是审稿人的审稿了（Awaiting Reviewer Scores）。

Awaiting Reviewer selection和Awaiting Reviewer Assignment都是指正在寻找或指定reviewers。该过程是审稿一审阶段最耗时、最费编辑精力的事情。

1.       一般杂志复审与否与编辑部流程关系很大，有的会强制邀请提出major revision的审稿复审的，有的则修回后编辑部直接决定。复审与否还与专家第一次审稿的时候是不是同意复审有关。有些审稿专家会要求修回之后让他看看，这样编辑部也会让他看了。当然，有些编辑自身学术水平比较高，作者稿件修改之后自己直接决定了。
不知道楼上所提的杂志怎样，要具体看待了。
2.如果2个专家意见相左的话，第一次审，一般就有第三个审稿专家参与了。复审意见相左，一般不会再找一个新专家提意见，编辑部会在内部讨论决定。

“Editor assigned”是 已经为你的文章确定好了编辑，下一步这个编辑会对你的稿件进行进一步的处理，也可以说编辑从专家库（或者作者建议的审稿人名单）里联系了适合评审该稿件的审稿专家，并且这写专家表示有时间、愿意为杂志评审该稿件。 当审稿人登录系统获取了待审稿件后，系统就自动将状态改为"under review".“Editor assigned”再次出现说明下一步这个编辑会对你的稿件再进行进一步的处理，

国外期刊投稿中常见的术语

1. Submitted to Journal
刚提交的状态

2. Manuscript received by Editorial Office
就是你的文章到了编辑手里了，证明投稿成功

3. 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：

Editor assigned是把你的文章分给一个编辑处理了。
3.2. Editor Declined Invitation 婉拒。

4.随后也会有2种状态
4.1. Decision Letter Being Prepared 就是编辑没找审稿人就自己决定了，那根据一般经验，对学生来说估计会挂了. 1）英文太差，编辑让修改。 2）内容太差，要拒了。除非大牛们直接被接收。
4.2. Reviewer invited 找到审稿人了，就开始审稿

5. 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。

6. Required Reviews Completed
审稿人的意见已上传，审稿结束，等待编辑决定

7. Evaluating Recommendation
评估审稿人的意见，随后你将收到编辑给你的decision

8. 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。

9. Revision Submitted to Journal
又开始了一个循环。

10. Accepted 恭喜了

11. Transfer copyright form 签版权协议

12. uncorrected proof 等待你校对样稿

13. In Press, Corrected Proof 文章在印刷中，且该清样已经过作者校对

15 in production
出版中

另外的一些常见英文词汇：

可以付印的正式稿件

graphical abstract
图文摘要 一个能够突出你文章特色的图,配上一两句话说明

running head 或running title
就是发表文章里显示在你页眉上的（一般论文偶数页显示RUNNING HEAD，奇数页显示论文的前几位作者的英文名缩写），一般是用一个短语（几个单词，别太长了）根括你论文的主要内容。

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。

    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
