Latest review

First review round: 34.7 weeks. Overall rating: 2 (moderate). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
One of the reviewers, who evidently did not take the trouble to read the text properly, advised rejection. It was also evident that this person was not competent enough regarding the topic. The other reviewer suggested that the manuscript be revised and this reviewer was also very clear about the relevance of the contribution. The suggested changes were also not too major so that I could have sent a revision in reasonable time. Still, the editors in charge decided that the manuscript should not be published, allegedly "in accordance with" the reviews.
