Latest review

First review round: 14.6 weeks. Overall rating: 0 (very bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
Very poor quality reviews. Two peer reviewers focused on detailing their own subjective experiences rather than evaluating the paper. One other reviewer also appeared not to have read the article.
