Q: Would it be considered duplicate submission when the status is “Decision Made” and “Waiting for Revision”?
My manuscript was not accepted by a journal, and they suggested me to resubmit it as a Letter. However, I replied that I wanted to submit to another journal, since I was aiming to publish my work as an original article. There was no response to my reply. Later date when I checked the status of my manuscript in the journal, it showed “Decision Made” and “Waiting for Revision”. Is it acceptable to submit my manuscript to next journal with this status at the previous journal?
