Short journal · Original editorial · A place for unfinished work
A draft is waiting for review but nobody knows by whom.
Unfinished work needs a reason to remain visible. A next action, a waiting condition, or a deliberate pause gives it a place. Keeping everything active can hide the few pieces that are ready to move.
Name the reviewer and the question the review should answer.
If the difficulty remains, write what happened without blaming the attempt. A clearer problem is useful evidence for the next version.
