Latest review

First review round: 7.9 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The first round was very fast (less than two months) and both reviewers did a fantastic job in identifying the weaknesses of the manuscript. The second round was slower, and I found that the quality of one of the reviews was not great. After the second resubmission, the manuscript was accepted within a week. Overall I am happy with the journal.
