Latest review

First review round: 13.0 weeks. Overall rating: 5 (excellent). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
Despite formally a rejection, the handling of case by the editors of JPART was excellent. They were courteous, quick and professional. The three referee reports were all constructive, highly professional, courteous and detailed. The author could hardly have received more valuable advice from elsewhere.
