First review round: 38.6 weeks. Overall rating: 1 (bad).
Outcome: Rejected.
Motivation:
The entire process for my manuscript took a total of 11 months. The initial assignment of an editor took approximately 2.5 months, and the manuscript was then sent out for review within a day. However, it took about 5.5 months to find reviewers. The revision decision, along with reviewer comments, was shared after 1.5 months. The revised manuscript was re-evaluated within 15 days, and the editor provided the final rejection decision after an additional 5 weeks.
Additionally, I found the tone of one of the reviewers to be somewhat discouraging and less constructive than expected. For instance, their final comment on the revised manuscript was:
"The authors rejected all my substantive comments. I have no additional comments on the few modifications they made in their responses."
