Latest review

First review round: 47.7 weeks. Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
I got my manuscript accepted without any need for revisions. However, it took 11 months for Lubrication Science to arrive to this verdict. I sent emails to the Associated Editor three times to complain about the long review duration. She would send the apologizing messages back every time.
