Latest review

First review round: 12.7 weeks. Overall rating: 5 (excellent). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The overall review reports were excellent in terms of their quality. Particularly, one reviewer's comments were very specific and constructive, so they contributed to the improvement of the manuscript significantly. However, other reviewers provided us with some unspecific, generic comments and suggestions. The overall editorial process was very smooth although it was not that quick.
