Latest review

First review round: 24.9 weeks. Overall rating: 1 (bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
One of the reviewer reports (the negative one, the other one was suggesting a revision) was clearly generated by an LLM. I complained to the editors stating that I had not authorized the reviewers to share my manuscript with LLMs. The editors and the SAGE ethics team told me that they were going to investigate the issue. I made multiple inquiries to be informed about the results of this investigation, but I did not receive any response.
