1, the first step is the preliminary examination. After the article is submitted, the first review step is the preliminary review. The magazine editor basically completes the preliminary review, and he will skim the articles. At this time, the comments are just a simple browsing, so the article will not be read carefully.

Editors mainly look at whether there are problems in the basic writing of articles, such as structure, logic, whether the main research direction is consistent with journals, whether sensitive topics or words are involved, etc. These are all fine, and they will be fine if they pass the preliminary examination.

2. Then there is audit, also called external audit. This was done by an external examiner. The external evaluation mainly depends on the research content of the article. Because it involves something in the professional field, it must be done by experts in this specialty.

It should be noted that some publications need the authors to recommend their own reviewers. Generally, there will be 3-4 reviewers, and all experts can pass the external review with their consent.

Finally, the final review is the final review of the article by the editor-in-chief of the magazine. This link is much more likely to pass the external audit, and the editor-in-chief will conduct a comprehensive audit of the article.

This link is not to say that there is no chance of rejection, but it is lower than the external review. The above three review links are the three reviews and three schools after the article is submitted. The process is not complicated, but it will take some time to pass, so be prepared to publish the paper as soon as possible.
