Latest review

First review round: 19.0 weeks. Overall rating: 2 (moderate). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The editorial and peer-review process was quite long, and the status on the manuscript central was not updated to show the actual status of our paper at the different stages. This meant we spent a lot of time trying to get answers from the editor(s) about the paper, as we had not heard from them in months at one point.
