Dear Authors,

Thank you for submitting your manuscript to our journal. We receive a high volume of submissions and must be highly selective in what we send out for peer review.

After careful consideration by the editorial board, we have determined that your methodology falls outside the immediate scope of our current publishing priorities. This is not a reflection on the quality of the research itself, but rather a matter of editorial fit.

We wish you the best of luck in finding a more suitable venue for this work.

Sincerely,

The Editorial Office
