Latest review

First review round: 10.7 weeks. Overall rating: 0 (very bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
Rejected by the editor despite the reviewers recommending minor revisions. Both reviews very short and superficial - about 5 lines of text in total - but still took over 2 months. Resubmitted to a much higher IF journal which provided serious reviews and accepted the paper.
