Latest review

First review round: 21.6 weeks. Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The reviewers' comments were perfect. The reviewing process took a long time. For my paper, this process was almost 15 months from the submitting paper for the first time until the paper has been accepted.
