pending review
Not yet decided
Pending review describes something awaiting examination or evaluation before a decision can be made.
Documents, applications, or content may be held in this status until someone with authority assesses them: Your submission is pending review by the editorial board.
The phrase implies a temporary hold rather than rejection—the matter remains open but unresolved.
