Latest review

First review round: 15.4 weeks. Overall rating: 1 (bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
Slow and flawed editorial process. The review of our revised manuscript took over four months, despite repeated assurances of a decision "within two weeks." Reviewers were critical but constructive. In the end, it appeared the manuscript was rejected not for its content, but because the journal no longer wished to handle it after their own prolonged delays.
