Latest review

First review round: 10.9 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
This was my first journal paper during my doctoral studies. And, possibly, that's why review process and revisions required good amount of time and efforts from me. Reviewer's comments were very helpful.
