Latest review

First review round: 15.9 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
The submission was quickly handled and two reviewers were quick to accept invitations of reviewing. The paper itself suffers from major problems in technical aspects, and lacks novel contribution, as acknoledged by the reviewer team, and I completely agree. The review reports are of high quality, harsh but fair, and I really benefited from them a lot, as they gave constructive criticism that actually help me find a new direction where I can better frame this research. It was a long shot anyway, and I really appreciate that they took the effort and reviewed my paper.
