Latest review

First review round: 13.9 weeks. Overall rating: 5 (excellent). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
It took 2 months before the manuscript went into review, probably because it is relatively difficult to find a suitable reviewer given the topic of our paper. After that, it took 1 month before the review was completed and comments were sent to us. Overall, the reviews were constructive and the editorial team was professional and efficient. One reviewer was particularly helpful in giving critical yet valuable comments which turned out to greatly improve the quality of our manuscript. Will definitely submit future work to JPA again.
