Latest review

First review round: 6.3 weeks. Overall rating: 5 (excellent). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
Many reviewers were available, with eight reviewers initially agreeing to review and seven ultimately submitting their reports. The handling editor was very prompt throughout the process. Although the review process was lengthy, the detailed reviews improved my manuscript. It was clear that the reviewers took considerable time and effort to evaluate the manuscript.
