Latest review

First review round: 15.1 weeks. Overall rating: 1 (bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
The submission process was easy and the technical editor was very helpful and fast. The manuscript was sent for review soon after submission. Almost four months after submitting we got a single review (just three sentences) rejecting the manuscript. I felt that the quality was substandard, and it seemed like the reviewer probably only read the manuscript superficially.
