Is what I'm saying, SRF!
They waited more than one year to prepare and send this article (it was received on Aug,29); I understand that time is needed to elaborate data and make correct interpretation but I am disappointed because, for sure, a slightly anticipated publication would be strongly reccomandable in this case!
