Latest review

First review round: 18.9 weeks. Overall rating: 0 (very bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
The journal brands an "open review" process, which I entered. I never received any response regarding this. After a long period of review, the first decision was to accept my manuscript. The peer review reports were minimal and focused on one point only. The journal then demanded a Portuguese translation of my article, which I submitted. The editor then contacted me to say that my Portuguese translation was not accepted and cited journal guidelines that state that in such cases, the article may be rejected. I demanded to know what exactly was the problem with the translation, but have not received a reply since.
