Motivation:
An international journal indexed in JCR as Q1 can't make a decision having only one review, especially when the report only provides one reason, does not indicate changes to perform and can be seen as subjective.

Motivation:
The whole review process took us more than one year, so the paper was published almost two years after the work was performed. Four rounds of revisions were performed with the following results: major changes, minor changes, major changes and acceptance. I can't find the logic when you apply minor changes suggested by reviewers and their next review suggests major changes. Additionally, there were contradictions between the reviewers that the editors did not solve.
