After the review, the editor communicates the reviewers' feedback to the authors. The feedback can lead to one of several outcomes:
- Acceptance: The manuscript is accepted as is or with minor revisions. - Major Revision: The authors are asked to make significant changes and resubmit the manuscript for another round of review. - Rejection: The manuscript is not suitable for publication in its current form, often due to fundamental flaws in the study design or data.
