##### <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A brief overview of the workflow</span>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">workflow has been divided into functional steps called statuses. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">For each status, Nestor expects a reply from the indicated user, and use [the due date](https://doc.nestor-edp.org/books/editor-guide/page/the-due-date) to calculate delays.</span>

Below is a diagram of the Nestor workflow. Blue boxes represent editorial statuses: these will appear in your to-do list and require your attention! Starred statuses allow you to take the common actions:

- ask for a revision
- take a final decision
- or send the paper to the referees
