Based on the reviewers’ comments, the decision will be:

• Accepted
• Rejected
• Returned for revision

Editorial Decision Criteria

Editors evaluate submissions based on:

• The quality and rigor of the research methodology
• The validity and reliability of the data
• The relevance and clarity of the conclusions
• The contribution to the field (novelty or incremental advancement)

Editorial decisions are based on scientific merit, not on perceived priority or impact.
