Collections of Submittals will generally follow the same lifecycle:
- Submittal acceptance
- Submittal review
- Submittal finalization (approved/denied/need more information, etc.)
Some collections will open and close with specific deadline dates, as with exam submittals for a specific testing period or abstracts submitted for oral presentation at a specific event.
Other collections may stay open for longer periods, or even indefinitely, as with submittals for publication in journals, or grant proposals, or a simple suggestion box.
