First review round: 13.6 weeks. Overall rating: 2 (moderate).
Outcome: Rejected.
Motivation:
Among the most frustrating review experiences. The first round of reviews provided good comments, which we addressed. The original reviewers were unavailable to assess the quality of our revision, so the manuscript was sent out to others. It took the handling editor a long time to find new reviewers. This resulted in an even longer review with many new comments, but which could have dealt with easily. The journal holds the manuscript for close to a year, but the manuscript was rejected with the words "we find that it would be unlikely to fully address these concerns in a reasonable revision timeline".
