Hi, @hello, what would you say is best to refer to an article that has been admitted, reviewed, returned, and waiting for the journal to be published: forthcoming or in press?

For context, I work in a languages department in the US. And I have seen different ways of using “forthcoming,” from an accepted paper to a simply drafted project.

@gonzalo @hello @academicchatter I use forthcoming for accepted papers :)

@gonzalo @hello @academicchatter Sounds good: “pending “ suggests doubt, eh?

@gonzalo @hello @academicchatter
I would say something isn’t “forthcoming” until it’s been accepted; before that it’s “in preparation”. And it isn’t “in press” until it’s been passed from the copy-editor to the typesetter (I work as both, formerly often on the same project).

Yeah I'd say "in the press" is when edits can't be made anymore without major costs and a lot of swearing in the print shop

@JeffreyJDean @hello @academicchatter yes! This sounds better. Thank you for clarifying my doubt, Jeffrey!
