As a result, in the 'Data collection and processing’ section,

“Our research utilized three datasets to evaluate the proposed skin lesion pattern decoding system, including two external test sets from distinct institutions. The primary dataset was the ISIC archive (2016–2020), a renowned public benchmark dermoscopic dataset. Data from the ISIC Archive Gallery (https://challenge.isic-archive.com/data/) included various skin lesion classes along with additional metadata.”

now reads:
