Latest review

First review round: 4.1 weeks. Overall rating: 5 (excellent). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
Over-all process had a good turnaround (reviews, editorial decisions, proofs, final publication). Manuscript status bar was transparent which was very helpful to know at what stage your manuscript is at. Reviews were very fair and helpful.
