Latest review

First review round: 4.0 weeks. Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The editor did a fine job. However, the editorial support of the journal as well as the publisher (BMC) desperately needs improvement! Additionally, BMC insists on supplying the email addresses of each co-author just to afterwards bombard them with spam. Very unprofessional all around.
