What does In Progress status on the Referee Management Tool mean?

In Progress status  When Chambers has emailed the referee and we are early in the research process. No action is required at this stage and normally we will see referees replying to our emails in the days and weeks after we reach out. However, you will also be able to see the date our last email was sent next to the referee’s contact status, so if you are following up with your referee to notify them Chambers has reached out, you can share that information.
