Latest review

First review round: 9.6 weeks. Overall rating: 5 (excellent). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The overall review process for BASP was excellent. My submission was acknowledged right away and I was informed that the review process had begun. The review process itself was quick and the comments I received evidenced a careful critique by two reviewers with expert knowledge of the subject area. Their comments, plus a few from one of the editors, led to a significantly better resubmission that was ultimately accepted.
