Toimitusjonoon

Toimitusjonoon is a Finnish term formed from toimitus (“editorial office” or “delivery”) and jono (“queue”) with the illative suffix -oon, which marks movement into a place or state. The term denotes the status or action of sending a manuscript, submission, or task into an editorial or processing queue, typically within a newsroom, publishing house, or content-management workflow.

In publishing and journalism, toimitusjonoon describes a workflow step rather than a final publication. For example, “Tämä artikkeli on siirretty toimitusjonoon” means “This article has been moved to the editorial queue.” The illative use emphasizes the transition into the queue, rather than the current state of being queued (which would be expressed with muodossa kuten toimitusjonossa).

Variations and related forms include toimitusjonossa (in the editorial queue) and the base noun toimitusjono (the editorial queue). The term is mainly used in professional editorial and production contexts. Its usage is more technical and would be common in internal communications, workflow documentation, or reporting about publishing processes rather than in everyday language.
