Status Taxonomy

Statuses track what happened after an entry was produced.

  • Draft: internal draft, not submitted.
  • Submitted: sent to the target institution.
  • Triage: under editorial review.
  • Needs edits: revisions requested before publication.
  • Approved: cleared for publication.
  • Published: public entry is live.
  • Rejected: declined for publication.
  • Archived: no longer active, preserved for record.

We also record external outcomes in the status timeline (e.g., acknowledged, no response).
