Latest review

First review round: 31.3 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The editor was professional and very kind. One reviewer was quite nasty in some comments mainly driven by prejudices than by experimental evidence. However, all things considered, I am satisfied about the final outcomes. I guess that reducing the time from the submission to the first review round (8 months) would be appreciated by the authors (this does not happen only because of the covid-19). Overall, if in future I will have the opportunity, I will consider this outlet again for my studies.
