Latest review

First review round: 12.4 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The review process took quite a while, but it was a contribution to a special issue and I had the feeling that the journal editor worked well with external reviewers and special issue guest editors. The reviews I received were very helpful and I was supported by the guest editors in the revision process.
