Latest review

First review round: 2.9 weeks. Overall rating: 2 (moderate). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
Both reviewers provided feedback that was not particularly constructive. One reviewer suggested citing several papers from the same author, which did not contribute new information and appeared to be self-citations. The other reviewer made suggestions that were not in alignment with the current literature and established knowledge in the field, leading us to reject most of their recommendations. On a positive note, the review process was completed very quickly, though this speed came at the cost of receiving poor-quality reviews.
