- Written evaluation, containing comments, observations, critiques and suggestions for improvement
- Recommendation regarding the acceptance of the paper (Acceptance for publication in its present form; Acceptance for publication, after revision and the implementation of reviewer suggestions; Rejection).
Comments, suggestions and recommendations regarding the acceptance of the paper are sent to the author(s).
