Latest review

First review round: 15.6 weeks. Overall rating: 5 (excellent). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
In addition to the external reviewers, we also received helpful comments from the Associate Editor and the Editor (I did not count them as reviewers). I have submitted to this journal in the past and the turnaround time and quality of reviews have greatly improved in the last decade.
