Latest review

First review round: 11.7 weeks. Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
The first review round, that ended up in a rejection, took almost 3 months - we had to chase the editors in order to get an answer on it. Reviewers' comments were useful and much appreciated (and used to further improve our manuscript before resubmitting to another journal, where it was accepted), but the review process was too long.
