Reuse Instance submitted by the researcher can be a successful instance if he was able to successfully reuse or reproduce the research output or it can be unsuccessful if he faced any challenges in reusing or reproducing the research output.

If the Instance is successful, the author can review it, send a note to the reuser and publish the instance.

&#x20;If the instance is unsuccessful, the author can send a message to the reuser & aid him to troubleshoot the challenge.
