The original review has been submitted by Uthamna and published by you with exactly the same format as I have sent you .. Check the site . How can something be accepted and another rejected and when no abstract or references were given ? This is not an academic paper but A REBUTTAL and there is no abstract or reference L .. If you do not accept to include mine then you should remove the Uthman review as it has NOT met your specified criteria as requested . I am sorry but you have to apply the same standards . I am taking this matter seriously please ..
