Latest review

First review round: 12.9 weeks. Overall rating: 5 (excellent). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
Based on the queries posed by the editorial board member and the two reviewers, one could conclude that they were subject experts. Their suggestions and corrections were carried out. After which the manuscript was completely transformed and I felt that the manuscript made more sense in its present form than in the original form. Also, the work was highly appreciated by the board member.
