InReview

Inreview is a term used to describe the status of a submission that is currently undergoing evaluation by reviewers within a workflow. It is commonly employed across publishing, software development, documentation, and content management systems to indicate that a piece of work has been submitted and is awaiting feedback or approval from editors, peer reviewers, or other designated stakeholders.

In publishing and academia, items such as manuscripts, articles, or proposals are often marked as in review during the peer-review or editorial-review process before they can be accepted for publication. In software development and documentation workflows, changes, pull requests, or new content can carry an in-review status as teammates assess correctness, quality, and adherence to standards prior to final approval or merge.

Typical characteristics of an in-review phase include the assignment of reviewers, a defined review window, the collection of comments or suggested changes, and the potential for revisions before a final decision. The term is sometimes used interchangeably with under review or review in progress, and the exact behavior of the status can vary between systems and organizations.

Limitations and considerations include variability in duration and potential lack of transparency about progress. In some platforms, the in-review status is visible to the submitter and reviewers, while in others it may be limited to internal stakeholders. Overall, inreview serves as a signaling mechanism that a submission is pending evaluation rather than final approval.
