Latest review

First review round: 26.0 weeks. Overall rating: 0 (very bad). Outcome: Drawn back.

Motivation:
The journal has a very slow review process. After 6 months of review, we were given about 3 weeks for major revisions and asked to resubmit the manuscript. The reviews are so superficial and do not contribute to the quality of the manuscript.
