Latest review

First review round: 14.0 weeks. Overall rating: 2 (moderate). Outcome: Drawn back.

Motivation:
The time it took to get an answer was to long considering that the journal has a low impact factor. Before submission there was no way to find out how long the process would take. Some of the reviewers comments were offensive.
