Latest review

First review round: 8.4 weeks. Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The first round of revision took a reasonable 2 months, and the comments were relatively constructive and appropriate, and it took us two months to address the comments. However, it took 4 months to receive the editor's decision. The reason was that one of the reviewers was not responsive, and the editor had to assign a new reviewer. Therefore, I had to address 3 reviewers' (instead of the initial 2 reviewers) comments.
