Latest review

Outcome: Drawn back.

Motivation:
The status of the manuscript was "Manuscript under consideration" since the second day. After one month, we contacted the journal and asked for an update. They told us that the editor had not started looking at the paper. After 7 weeks, the status was still the same. I think that NHB is a fantastic journal. It is a bit unfortunate, however, that takes is that long to decide if a paper fits or not.
