First review round: 5.6 weeks. Overall rating: 1 (bad).
Outcome: Accepted.
Motivation:
It is the worst experience we have recently had with one of our submissions, even though our manuscript has been finally accepted for publication. To mention just a few problems: incompetent handling editor that was later replaced, unresponsive journal staff, delayed review, delayed proofs, delayed online publication… I personally do not think I would ever submit another manuscript to Frontiers in Microbiology or recommend this journal to any of my colleagues.
