Whenever a reuse instance is submitted, the author can collaborate with the reuser depending upon the state of the instance.
Successful Instance
If the reuse instance is successful, then the author can review it and decide if it should be published. The author can send a note to the reuser when he publishes the article.

Unsuccessful Instance
If the reuse instance is unsuccessful, then the author can discuss the issues and challenges faced during reusing or reproducing the research output with the reuser through a direct conversation channel on the application. The author can send notes to the reuser, and the reuser will receive them by email which he can reply to.
