Latest review

First review round: 19.1 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The review process was smooth and relatively quick. My only frustration was that the editor made a lot of unnecessary minor edits after acceptance. Some of these altered the meaning of sentences and resulted in inaccuracies that I had to address.
