The process of submission:

First, direct acceptance: the original paper is accepted and published without any modification, but few papers can receive this decision.

Second, accept after minor repairs: this decision is also called conditional acceptance, which means that the paper can be accepted by the journal after some minor changes. Papers accepted after minor repairs may not need peer review, and general journal editors will make a decision after reviewing themselves. However, the author should seriously accept the minor changes and make serious revisions to ensure the smooth passage.

3. Acceptance after overhaul: When the editor thinks that the paper needs to be greatly revised, he will make this decision. When returning the revised manuscript, the author needs to attach a point-by-point reply to the reviewer's opinion, and the revised paper may be sent to the external reviewer again. If the author does not fully reply to all the amendments, it may be revised again or even rejected.

4. Re-submission after revision: Sometimes the editor refuses to submit, but is willing to accept re-submission on the premise of revision by the author. In this case, resubmitting will be considered as a new submission. If the author accepts it, he must first revise the paper according to the opinions of reviewers and editors, and then attach a letter when submitting again, which contains the number and revision instructions of the previous submission. After checking the revised paper and related information, the editor decides whether to send it to peer review.

5. Reject: Reject directly. In most cases, even if the paper is greatly revised, journal editors will not consider publishing the paper.
