Latest review

First review round: 19.9 weeks. Overall rating: 1 (bad). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The communication from the journal side was very lacking. After the acceptance, the publication process was only set in motion after 6 months. No response was be given to any questions regarding when it would go through the publication handling.
