Latest review

First review round: 28.4 weeks. Overall rating: 1 (bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
The review process was extremely slow. It seems that one of the reviewers to whom the review was sent never responded, and the journal took a long time to contact another reviewer (in fact, they only did so after we inquired about the status of the review). The selection of reviewers was disastrous. They neither understood the methodology (quantitative) nor the motivation of the article nor the conclusions. We received feedback that had little to do with our work.
