Latest review

First review round: 14.3 weeks. Overall rating: 5 (excellent). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
This review was for a special issue, so the peer review schedule was compressed. The reviews were received within three months of the special issue deadline, which I consider timely. There were three reviews and the reviewers were obviously knowledeable about the domain. Even though the submission was rejected, the reasons for rejection were clearly motivated based on the reviewers' specific comments. Even though they recommended rejection, the reviewers gave constructive feedback that gives concrete directions for going forward. Although not the desired outcome, an overall respectable review process.
