Latest review

First review round: 10.0 weeks. Overall rating: 5 (excellent). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
In other SCI journals, there were instances of aggressive comments unrelated to improving paper quality, criticisms regarding simple English grammar, and criticisms of a lack of novelty without explanation. The reviewers for the Waste Management journal were experts in the field and provided precise guidelines for quality improvement. Although the speed is slower compared to other journals, I consider it the most reliable and best journal.
