Latest review

First review round: 5.0 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
This is an open access journal under the Indian Association of Palliative Care. I am grateful for the fast review. The comments by the reviewer suggested that he/she was not familiar with the methodology of my paper and was rather curt. However I take it as an opportunity to improve the manuscript and am very glad that it was accepted within the day that I submitted the revision.
