Latest review

First review round: 12.4 weeks. Overall rating: 2 (moderate). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
The article was an application note (1.5 pages with 1 figure). It took around 2 weeks before to be submitted to the reviewers. Then there was one month of oscillation between the "With the editor" and "under revision", then other almost 3 weeks for an editorial decision. The comments were not super interesting about the improvement but rather on the documentation. However I have been proposed to direct transfer to bioinformatics Advances (which is taking ages as well: they state that you will get an editorial decision in 3 working days, and after 20 days I'm still waiting)
