Latest review

First review round: 4.4 weeks. Overall rating: 2 (moderate). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
One of the review reports was written in poor English and had a lot of linguistic mistakes. The reviewer only commented on the merits of the paper, which did not fit in his opinion with the journal. I only blame the editorial board for sending it out to reviewers despite them arguing the paper was out of the journal's scope.
