Latest review

First review round: 4.7 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The editors were rapid in their decision to send the article to review. The article was sent to relevant referees who offered constructive criticism and highlighted valid points of the study which needed further analysis. We were surprised to receive major revisions given the scope of the work which was actually necessary; however this is only semantics. On revision of the article, both editors and referees were punctual with their final comments, allowing the article to proceed in to publication in a timely manner.
