Latest review

First review round: 25.4 weeks. Overall rating: 0 (very bad). Outcome: Drawn back.

Despite the positive reviews and more than one year in a submission process, the manuscript was finally withdrawn by us. The main reason for withdrawal was the extended review time and unresponsiveness from the journal.
