If authors have serious and reasonable objections to the reviews, the Editorial Board assesses whether a review is objective and meets academic standards. When there is doubt about the objectivity or quality of a review, the Editor-in-Chief will assign additional reviewer(s).

Additional reviewers may also be assigned when reviewer decisions (accept or reject) are contrary to each other or otherwise substantially incompatible.

The final decision on the acceptance of the manuscript for publication rests solely with the Editor-in-Chief.
