Latest review

First review round: 5.7 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The handling time of the manuscript could have been faster. The editorial office however is very responsive and was very helpful during the submission. When asking after a couple of weeks when we could expect the editorial decision, their promised deadlines were always correct.
