Latest review

First review round: 19.7 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
Although the revision process took some time, the editors were very helpful in every aspect, for example they answered my questions immediately and connected me directly with one reviewer to discuss some complex issues of the revision.
