Outcome
Motivation:
It took about 3 month to get first decision, which was a little long
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.
Motivation:
Thorough review reports. Long wait until first review results.

Motivation:
I first approached the CMJ editor in 2010 about a 25-year retrospective of the importance of the Systems Concepts Digital Synthesizer project at Stanford. It turned into two articles plus a review that were all published together in the Fall 2013 issue. One article discussed the architecture of the Synthesizer, one the research project surrounding it, and the review focused on some of the music composed using it. Thus, this was a very big project with lots of technical and historical details to get right, and it took years to complete. The CMJ editorial staff was superb throughout; very supportive, with many valuable suggestions, responsive to my concerns, balanced and light with their editorial pens. A very enjoyable experience. They have my highest respect.
Motivation:
This is a nice journal with great reviewers.
Motivation:
The review process for Cultural Sociology was great; really, it was an example of how the peer review process should function. The timelines were reasonable (9.5 months from first submission to acceptance after revisions, less than 1 year from submission to online publication), and the editor solicited excellent reviews. The reviewers' comments and suggestions really helped me improve the manuscript; they really engaged with my work, and their comments focused on helping me frame and draw out the most important conceptual issues. In fact, the editors comments seemed to suggest that I should make fairly minimal revisions, but I ended up doing more revision than was actually asked for, because a couple of suggestions in the reviews really inspired me. In the end, the paper was much better for having gone through the review process (and how often can we truly say that?).
Motivation:
Though, the review process made my paper an improved one, but the process took a lot of time.
Motivation:
Despite of a quite long waiting time for getting the first decision, the review process went quite well. The editor assigned a competent reviewers from which we get constructive and valuable feedback that focus on improving the scientific quality and the clarity of the article
