Reviewer Guidelines

Title and Abstract
The title adequately reflects the focus of the study; however, it could be strengthened by specifying the key variables or the distinctive contribution of the research. The abstract is clear, but it would benefit from briefly highlighting the methodological approach and the main findings.

Methodology
The methodology is generally well presented, yet further clarification is required regarding sample selection and data analysis procedures. In addition, information on power analysis should be provided to justify the adequacy of the sample size.

Findings and Conclusions
The findings are relevant and aligned with the research objectives. Nevertheless, the conclusions should be expanded by incorporating clearer practical implications, including recommendations for policy, practice, or future research, to enhance the study’s real-world relevance.

Figures and Tables
The figures and tables are clear and well organized; however, more informative axis labels and explanatory notes would improve data interpretation and readability.

Credibility and Conflict of Interest
No apparent conflicts of interest were identified. However, a formal declaration of potential conflicts of interest, whether direct or indirect, should be explicitly stated to ensure research transparency.
