I think we can safely assume that the majority of our users (ie scientists) won't understand what is meant by "curation" or "curation object." We should use terminology that is consistent with words they are already familiar with. I suggest replacing the term "curation object" with "publication submission". I am open to other suggestions that don't use digital curation jargon.

We have a status of "in curation." I suggest replacing with "In process" or something similar.
