Latest review

First review round: 30.7 weeks. Overall rating: 0 (very bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
The review process was absolutely awful. After three rounds and over a year and a half in the process, the paper was rejected based on the opinion of only one of three reviewers. In the prior round the editor informed us to focus on other aspects not related to the first reviewer and informed us the revision was 'minor' only to go back on their word and reject the paper for the first reviewer's comments anyway. I would strongly discourage anyone from submitting to this journal.
