Q: What does the status "Awaiting DIR Assignment" mean?
1 Answer to this question
Answer:
You have not mentioned when you submitted your paper, nor whether there were any other statuses before this. Knowing the details would help us give a more specific answer.
Generally speaking, "DIR" would stand for "Directory." Thus "Awaiting DIR Assignment" would possibly mean that your manuscript has not yet been assigned to the journal directory or database. Once your paper is assigned to the database, you will receive a manuscript ID and the status will change to "Submission completed."
