Motivation: The whole process took a bit longer than expected, mostly because it is getting harder and harder to get reviewers that are willing to peer-review the publications. This might be an overall problem in the scientific community, especially for journals that, even though have a high impact factor, are not that "well known". Overall, we were in contact with the editors, who kept us updated on the review process.
PD: If you are trying to publish your work quickly, I would maybe advise another journal.

Motivation: Relatively quick process, three short but excellent reviews, plus comments by the editor. The editor clearly went with the only negative reviewer, but the overall process is such that we can quickly move on with the manuscript.

Motivation: This was easily the best experience I've had with a journal and reviewers who were critical yet complimentary of our work. We admit this may have been an anomaly with the editor being well-versed in the theoretical approaches used in our paper, but we would resubmit here in a heartbeat and would recommend others to consider this journal as well.

Motivation: The entire process in this journal takes very long although they are also very generous with the time given to the authors for revising the manuscript.
