Q: What does the status mean “Awaiting ED Decision”?
I submitted my article to a KI on February 22. Until yesterday the status was "under review" today it changed to "Awaiting ED Decision". What does that mean? My paper could be rejected? Thanks for the answers!
Let me try to answer your query. By KI, I am wondering if you are referring to a journal name? "Awaiting ED Decision" would suggest that a decision is pending on your manuscript, which may not be a rejection - but in fact could be a suggestion to revise and resubmit, or even an acceptance.
The following query and answer may be of further help to you:
