First review round: 5.7 weeks. Overall rating: 5 (excellent). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
I had an excellent review process- the comments from the reviewers were fair and improved my paper to a large extent. The editor was also very clear and generous with the R&R dates, giving me ample opportunity to respond and make the necessary changes. The process from acceptance to publication was also great, allowing me to edit and amend the text whilst proofing and typesetting.
