Latest review

Outcome: Rejected (im.).

Motivation:
The initial review took unexpectedly and unreasonably long - it was almost 12 weeks. I understand the journal might have experienced difficulty finding reviewers but it is their job to sort things out. We could have moved on by quickly finding another outlet for our paper had the desk rejection been made in a more timely manner.
