Latest review

First review round: 8.5 weeks. Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The review process is excessively long, and the identification of suitable reviewers needs improvement. Disagreements among reviewers’ comments often remain unreconciled at an early stage, and one reviewer, who was particularly insistent on a comment, appeared to lack expertise in the topic.
