Latest review

First review round: 13.0 weeks. Overall rating: 1 (bad). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
In addition to the lengthy review process, the post-production time was extremely long. The paper was accepted July 2020, we have been told not to expect proofs of the manuscript until March 2021 at the earliest. After three rounds of external review, there was also another unexpected round of scientific review with the editor.
