Latest review
First review round: 50.1 weeks. Overall rating: 1 (bad).
Outcome: Rejected.
Motivation:
The review process took an obscenely long time and resulted in rejection. It was not only a matter of difficulties in finding reviewers but the paper sat with the editor and administrators for 2-3 months at different points in the process. Many comments received may be helpful in improving the text for re-submission elsewhere. Others were outright rude or seemed to overlook the fact that the excessively long review process contributed to making our study outdated.
