Latest review

First review round: 6.4 weeks. Overall rating: 5 (excellent). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
This was a perspective paper for a Special Focus, so there was a selection process before we submitted the full paper. Overall the review process was very smooth. The AE and the reviewers were professional and offered a lot of good feedback.
