Latest review

First review round: 36.0 weeks. Overall rating: 2 (moderate). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
I think it is better if IJHRM keep the first review response within 6 months (at maximum) and invite more reviewers for collective viewpoints from various perspectives with the expertise in field. It is normal that a high ranking journal receives 3 or 4 reviewers for a paper. The longer review process makes us tired and costs us the opportunity to pursue publication with other journal.
