Latest review

First review round: 7.6 weeks. Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
While the peer review process was handled in a reasonable timeframe of eight weeks, the overall editorial workflow experienced significant delays. Receiving the editorial decision took approximately ten months, and the total timeline from submission to publication is expected to reach 14 months. Communication with the editorial office was often slow, and the manuscript management system operates quite sluggishly. Improving editorial response times and system speed would greatly enhance the author experience.
