After submitting an article in a journal. I noticed following steps.
1) No editor assigned.
2) Evaluation recommendation. (After 6 days of manuscript submission)
I didnt see any "under review" step.
What does this mean?
Evaluation recommendation shows that the reviews for your paper are complete and the Associate Editor is evaluating the reviewer suggestions to arrive at a decision about your paper. The previous status is a little confusing though. Generally speaking, the peer review process takes more than a month to complete, which makes me inclined to think that this was probably an internal review. If a paper moves from an internal review directly to "Evaluating recommendation," it is probably a case of desk rejection.
However, there is a possibility that the paper was sent for an external peer review (particularly since "Under review" appears twice) and that the reviewers were very prompt. The other possibility is that this is a rapid publication journal in which case it is not unusual for the peer review process to be completed within a month. Whatever it is, the current status makes it clear that the Associate Editor is now evaluating your paper to arrive at a decision.
However, note that the Associate Editor does not have the authority to make a final decision. He/she will give his/her recommendation to the Editor-in-chief who will take the final call on whether the paper will be rejected or accepted with major/minor changes. Once the Associate Editor has given his/her recommendation to the EiC, the status will change to "Decision in process."

Hi,
It seems that evaluation recommendation is the editorial process by which the editor decides if the paper is suitable for publication in his journal and if he should send it to reviewers.
Hi Ali
Have you received anything form the journal? It is the same with me, so I just want to check what is the next step please.
thanks
Ali Butt This status reflects the review has completed and soon the EIC will take necessary action.
Ali Butt What happened to your paper?
I got the same but after a month of "Under Review" status.
It means finding the scope of the paper to the particular journal. If that paper not meet the requirement, it will quickly for the decision.
