Latest review

First review round: 12.3 weeks. Overall rating: 1 (bad). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
Reviews were mostly excellent. However, the review process stalled for a long time without explanation. After six months of inaction I contacted the associate editor dealing with my manuscript, who did not reply to repeated emails over the following six months. At that point I contacted the editors and the situation was resolved rapidly.
