Reviews for "Marine Biotechnology"

Motivation: The editorial team handled the manuscript efficiently at every active stage: the two amendments requested during the initial technical check were resolved within a week, the editor was assigned on the same day the manuscript became ready for assignment, and the reviewers accepted the invitation and delivered their reports within two days of being invited — remarkably fast. The final phase was equally swift, with the revised manuscript passing the technical check and being accepted within four days. The only weak point was a long period of about 7.5 months between the receipt of the reviewer reports (22 July 2025) and the revision request (3 March 2026), during which no status updates were received; more frequent communication during this phase would have been helpful. Apart from this gap, we experienced the process as professional and well organized.
