Latest review

First review round: 56.4 weeks. Overall rating: 2 (moderate). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
While the reports were high quality and helpful to improve the manuscript, the pace of review was painfully slow. The EIC would not repond to queries and we had written that we were considering to withdraw the manuscript due to excessively long time. Then, within a day or so, I obtained the first round of reviews that asked for a major R&R.
