Latest review

First review round: 10.3 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The review timeline of Acta Materialia is excruciatingly slow. Other than that, the editors and the reviewers are very fair in accommodating our responses to the final version of the manuscript.
