Q: What is the meaning of 'Securing Reviewer(s) 'in AIP's Publishing portal?

1 Answer to this question
Answer:

Submission portals may differ in terms of the submission statuses they use, so it would be difficult to provide a definitive answer without consulting with the journal editors. However, this status seems to indicate that your paper has cleared the initial editorial screening and will be sent for peer review. During this time, the editor looks for suitable reviewers for your paper and sends out review invitations.
