First review round: 32.7 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good).
Outcome: Accepted.
Motivation:
Extremely satisfied with the review process. The Editor-in-Chief was accessible and pleasant to interact with, and the Associate Editor was equally approachable and demonstrated a genuine interest in the manuscript. The reviewers’ comments, as well as those from the Associate Editor, reflected a strong level of engagement and rigor, and contributed substantially to improving the quality of the manuscript.
The only drawback was the overall length of the process, which took almost a year, with the first round of review lasting about seven months. However, if this duration ensures such a thorough and high-quality review process, it can also be seen as a positive aspect.
