Latest review

First review round: 6.3 weeks. Overall rating: 5 (excellent). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
Among the online submission systems that I have used SAGE publishing was exceptionally fast in the revision stage, as well as in the stage of manuscript submission for the first time referee evaluation.
