Latest review

First review round: 32.9 weeks. Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The reviews were mostly helpful and contributed to improving the manuscript. However, the editorial process lacked transparency. The status remained “awaiting recommendation” for several months, and inquiries to the journal went unanswered. After we followed up again, the reviews arrived the next day. Previous experiences with this journal had been considerably more efficient.
