20、otnote.Put your running title here: Elsevier General template for review10关于 Elsevier 旗下期刊投稿 1 关于 Elsevier 旗下期刊投稿概述(1) Elsevier 旗下共有 1300 多种期刊。投稿时采用的是 Elsevier Editorial System (EES)投稿系统(2) 审稿时间。通常不会超过半年，如果半年时间到，部分审稿意见没有返回，期刊社同样会把已返回的意见返回给你。(3) 版权问题。一般会通过给你发几个 PDF 合同，然后你打印出来，用手填写，然后邮寄或者扫描后通过 email 发
21、给他们。(4) 投稿模板。通常很多人都会关心这个问题，这是投稿的第一步。但是 Elsevier 旗下期刊对投稿的模板没什么要求，只要你比较注意排版，看着舒服就好。至于排版，录用后他们编辑会排版，然后让你来校正。建议，投稿时候不要考虑纸张页数，国外期刊不太关心期刊页数，只要按他们最后的排版不超过 30 页（好像是 30 页）一般不会收钱。(5) 如果投稿论文分成几个部分，在投稿的时候就要分开，按照单独的论文投稿。不过要在 Letter to Editor 中要说明这是同一个论文。(6) Elsevier 旗下期刊投稿不收取审稿费，发表也不收取版面费，但超过一定页数会适当收取费用，如果用彩色印刷，
22、也会收钱，他们不收则以，一收就比较多。(7) 投稿时是否需要把图片和论文主题分开。这个本来不需要说的，网站上的要求就是如此，需要单独分开上传，但是以我的经验，如果论文图太多，特别是对于国内的网速慢，上传很不方便，可以直接把图放在论文中间，审稿阶段不用考虑图文分开，等录用后再图文分开。2 Elsevier 投稿状态总结(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
23、编辑。这当中就会有另两个状态：1) Awaiting Editor Assignment 指派责任编辑 Editor assigned 是把你的文章分给一个编辑处理了。2) Editor Declined Invitation 也可能编辑会拒绝邀请，这就需要重新指定编辑3) technical check in progress 检查你的文章符不符合期刊投稿要求(4) 编辑接手处理后也会有 2 种状态1) Decision Letter Being Prepared 就是编辑没找审稿人就自己决定了， 2) Reviewer(s) invited 找到审稿人了，就开始审稿(5) Under re
24、view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) uating 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。(9) Revision Submitted to Journal.又开始了一个循环。(10) Accepted 文章被接受(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(14) Manuscript Sent to Production 排版
