We are very grateful to the editorial board, the editor-in-chief, the language editors, and the production team for their rigorous and efficient handling of our manuscript. The peer-review process was thorough and constructive; each reviewer provided insightful suggestions that genuinely strengthened our work. The editorial decisions were communicated clearly and promptly, and the production team’s attention to detail during copyediting and proofreading was impressive. The online submission and tracking system was intuitive and reliable, which made the entire process smooth and transparent. We also appreciate the journal’s policy of publishing author evaluations and reader comments, as it fosters an open and collaborative scientific community. If we were to offer one minor suggestion, it would be to provide more detailed formatting templates for figures and references to further reduce the revision burden. Overall, we have full confidence in the journal’s credibility and would gladly submit our future work here. Thank you for your dedicated service to the research community.
