First review round: 15.3 weeks. Overall rating: 0 (very bad).
Outcome: Accepted.
Motivation:
After three rounds of revisions, the paper was finally accepted. The entire process—from submission to publication—took 1 year and 4 months. Although the reviewing process is voluntary, we do pay for the publication. The prolonged waiting time was excessive and concerning. The reviews offered little constructive feedback, and it appeared that our manuscript was neglected for several months.
