Outcome
Motivation:
Nature set a record in my lab by rejecting our paper in under 3 hours. I sincerely doubt that the editor carefully considered whether to send our paper out to review.
Motivation:
At the time eLife was billing a fast turnaround time and I didn't get that. The office were good about communicating with me about the delays in reviewing the paper. Overall the review process was great. The reports were synthesized into a sensible decision letter, moreover the reviews are published online at this journal.
Motivation:
Fast turn around between submission, approval and publication.
Motivation:
This experience was revealed that choosing the experienced and efficient high scientific level reviewers is the key to make efficient reviewing process.
Motivation:
JCB has an academic Ed Board. The Editor who handled my paper did a great job. We had two positive reviews and one negative one. The Editor gave us clear guidance on what we needed to do to revise our paper. This included instructions to ignore the negative reviewer. Overall the process was fair, balanced and I will submit more work there.
Motivation:
First, make sure your expression and discussion concise and precise.
Second, introduce your experiments or models, the more detailed the better.
Last but not least, the papers with innovation are encouraged.

Motivation:
Based on my experience, IJGIS journal is very good and fast in giving the initial decision of the first round of review, whether the article is accepted or not. This is very important. In addition, the received comments where scientifically valid and important in order to improve the article. The duration for second round of revision was also acceptable. I personally believe this journal is one of the bests in the domain of GIS.
Motivation:
The editor is very helpful
Motivation:
I believe the reviewers' comments were constructive in improving the quality of my manuscript. However, the whole process, especially the first round of review took too long. I was glad that they hurried up to publish it by the end of the year, though.
Motivation:
The review process was rapid. Some of the comments I received were difficult to handle and sometimes contradictory. I would have like the opinion of the editor on some of those "conflicting" comments. However, I had plenty of time to review the manuscript and resubmit it.
Motivation:
A relatively painless process was provided by CMI; the reviewers were obviously experts in the field in which our research sat, and provided insightful comments to improve the manuscript. This was all accomplished in a suitable (6 week) timescale.
Motivation:
Process was long and drawn out but got there in the end.
