Latest review

First review round: 14.3 weeks. Overall rating: 2 (moderate). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
All in all the handling of the manuscript was okay, the status changes were transparent and the web interface comparably well to handle. A severe problem was that editor and reviewers did not seem to be familiar with qualitative methods and applied criteria suitable for quantitative studies only. This is a common issue when trying to publish qualitative research in journals that are more on the quantitative side.
