1, numbering is only the first step, which means that you have already started to deal with your paper. Next, the editor-in-chief will make a preliminary review of your paper, and if you think your work is meaningless, just reject it directly; If it passes the preliminary examination, it will be sent to other peers for review; After reviewing the manuscript, the reviewers will send their opinions to the editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-chief will decide whether to reject the manuscript, agree to accept your paper or let you revise it according to the reviewers' opinions; After formal acceptance, the paper is transferred to the publishing house, and at this time you need to sign a copyright agreement or something; Finally, I have to proofread the manuscript, which means I'll give you a chance to correct some low-level mistakes.

For example, you act like you are in love with multiple girls at the same time. Although you only married one person in the end, this behavior of "stepping on N boats" is unfair to other girls.
