Latest review

First review round: 22.0 weeks. Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The review process was quite drawn out and protracted because only one of the three original reviewers responded to the revised submission, meaning a fourth (new) reviewer had to be found. The Journal apologised for this delay and handled the matter professionally as possible considering the circumstances.
