Latest review

First review round: 19.1 weeks. Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The review process was fair and many of the comments were good and can be acted upon. However, getting the first round of reviews took close to 20 weeks and initially communication was not the best with the editorial team. After the first round though things got quicker. The publication process itself was smooth and people from the publisher's side were really helpful.
