Latest review

Outcome: Rejected (im.).

Motivation:
There is a serious ethical concern in the screening review process, particularly the apparent reliance on ChatGPT by the reviewer. According to the review report, 80% of the listed references are not found. Among them, the reviewer recommended a JIT article that cannot be found on the journal’s official website.
