Latest review

First review round: 21.7 weeks. Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The reviews were good and the editorial management was also good. However, the initial round of reviews was excessively long- many many months, which was very difficult. The excessive duration of time for the initial review is the main motivator for the review process rating as above
