Re: Deputy Editor In Chief
Denna Repaci
After one round of minor revision, my submission has now reached the "Awaiting EIC decision" stage. In the meantime I just wanted to get some insight on what this entails. Do editor-in-chiefs usually follow the recommendations of the associate editor below them who managed the review process?
For a journal large enough to have multiple layers of editors, the EIC is unlikely to be directly involved in the processing of most articles. Depending on the journal policy, the EIC may be formally required to approve all publications, but this would be a pro forma step in ordinary circumstances. For some large journals, the an article may never cross the EIC's desk at all if there are no problems during the review process.
When the EIC would become involved is if there is a problem. I think this would normally occur when an author protests against a rejection. However, it is conceivable that an associate editor might escalate a problem that occurred internally, if there was some peculiar problem with the submission or the reviews.
In the first journal, published fortnightly, deputy editors gather twice a week to discuss the manuscripts under preparation. During these meetings, the Editor-in-Chief is almost always present. Each of the deputy editors presents each manuscript under his or her care, with a recommendation to the group. There is brief discussion and consensus is reached. The Editor-in-Chief generally accepts the decision of the group, but there are times when he has overridden the consensus. The deputy editors always inform the authors that the decision has been reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief and all deputy editors.
In the end, there are more processes than there are journals (mainly because workflows change all the time even in the same journal). Trying to read into a statement in the email is like divining from tea leaves.
It is generally the case that deputy editors are happy to describe the editorial process to authors. I suggest that you might wish to contact the journal directly and seek clarification about what to expect. Make sure you read the journal website, though, because it might be explained.

A managing editor (ME) is a senior member of a publication's management team. Typically, the managing editor reports directly to the editor-in-chief and oversees all aspects of the publication.
In the United States, a managing editor of a newspaper, magazine or other periodical publication oversees and coordinates the publication's editorial activities. The managing editor can hire, fire, or promote staff members. Other responsibilities include creating and enforcing deadlines. Most section editors will report to the managing editor. The ME must enforce policies set by the editor in chief. It is their job to approve stories for print or final copy. On matters of controversy, the ME decides whether to run controversial pieces. At a newspaper a managing editor usually oversees news operations while opinion pages are under separate editors.
