Latest review

First review round: 5.3 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
Considering the number of manuscripts received by the journal we were surprised by the speed of the process. Reviewers made fair comments that helped improve the manuscript. The copy editing phase was not as smooth with a lot of mistakes being added by the editorial team during the galley proof stage. Had we not examined these proofs quite closely, the paper might have been published with these issues.
