Latest review

First review round: 15.4 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
Our article had already been reviewed previously by another journal (International Journal of Comparative Sociology), so the new feedback received from Social Science Research was quite encouraging. Overall, the tone and ideas of the reviewers were constructive. The editor acted with considerable diligence and also provided some comments on the article. The article was subsequently published online fairly quickly
