Latest review

First review round: 21.7 weeks. Overall rating: 5 (excellent). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
This journal is relatively new. It has not been indexed by Scopus or JCR yet. But the editorial board, publisher (north eastern university) and the name of the journal, suggests that it is a continuation of an existing journal. Therefore, I guess they had to get new ISSN and start over. The review process was instructive and effective. I stongly recommend this journal especially knowing that it will be definitely indexed in major indexing systems after a few years.
