Latest review

First review round: 14.4 weeks. Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
The first review was positive with the recommendation to make minor changes for acceptance. The second review was quite critical with the recommendation to reject. The editor sided with reviewer 2 and rejected. Note that communication with the journal in their internal system was not reliable/response times were quite long (weeks) for inquiries about the status of the manuscript, e.g. if reviewers had been secured and approximate timelines for review. However, this may depend on the editorial assistant assigned to the MS and therefore isn't a reflection of the journal as a whole.
