Motivation: The first reviewer (who rejected the paper) wrote exactly one sentence. It is really hard to grasp why the paper was rejected from such a short information.

The second reviewer did a lengthy, very complete review of my work, and raised several important points that later on improved the paper. However, he was obviously biased against my research topic and the reason for rejection was not quite clear.

Motivation: The journal was not able to provide any updates during the 30 weeks the manuscript was under review. The review process seemed quite slow considering they claim to have a shorter review time than many other journals and have rolling online publication. The comments from the reviewer were helpful and the manuscript was accepted. The editor was easy to work with. I would consider using again, but don't expect an expedited process despite the online rolling publication.
