Latest review

First review round: 8.7 weeks. Overall rating: 1 (bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
4 reviewers in total ready our manuscript. They were very dogmatic in their approach to analytical chemistry which led them to reject our manuscript three times. Tired of appealing to an inexperienced editor we decided to send our manuscript to a high impact science journal. After 6.4 weeks our manuscript was accepted, following reports of 5 reviewers none of which questioning our methods!
