Latest review

First review round: 11.4 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
My experience of the review process with Cognition & Emotion is positive, despite it taking 3 revision rounds. The reviewers and editor comments were mostly very helpful and perceptive, and the last review round was solely due to a very precise reading by the editor, requiring a final small mistake to be corrected in the manuscript. I highly appreciated that level of detail from the editor.
