Q: Can you help me understand the current status of my manuscript on the online submission system?
What is the meaning of Submissions with Production Completed (1) + Submissions Being Processed + Editor assignment pending (current status)?
Some submission systems list out all possible statuses and then mention the number of manuscripts at each stage. Based on the information you have provided, it seems one manuscript has undergone production. This may be a previous accepted manuscript. It is unclear if there are any numbers associated with ‘Submissions being processed’ or ‘Editor assignment pending’. If there are no numbers associated with these, then it is likely that there is no current recent submissions that are in these stages.
Once you submit a manuscript, it will first show up under ‘Submissions being Processed’ and then proceed to ‘Editor assignment pending.’ You can also click on the links for each of these statuses to see which manuscripts lie in these folders and confirm the presence or absence of your current manuscript based on the title of the manuscript.
