a. Accept for Publication

b. Accept for Publication subject to minor revision (Please provide suggestions)

c. Resubmit after revision (Please provide suggestions)

d. Decline (Please provide suggestions)

5. Third Review Result: For the “third review,” the revised paper will be sent, along with the combined first-round reviews, to reviewers 1 and 2 for further evaluation. Based on this third review, the editorial board will make a final decision about whether to accept or decline the paper. If reviewers 1 and 2 are both unable to provide the third review, then the paper will be sent to another reviewer for further evaluation, along with the complete first-round reviews, and the editorial board will make a final decision based on the third review.
