Latest review

First review round: 8.1 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The review process was time-effective and fair. I also really appreciate the editor's wisdom, not sending out the revised version for additional review but making the decision by herself immediately (which practice is less and less common these days when editors simply act like corresponding clerks between authors and reviewers but not making real decisions). My only concern is that we have received a single peer review report, which I believe is below the industry-standard.
