Motivation: One of the reviewer reports put a lot of emphasis on the assumption that English was my second language (it's actually the third) but provided little evidence that there were serious problems with the English grammar (most of the comments pertained to style). The comments were quite unprofessional, and there was evidence that the reviewer had an evident conflict of interests (such as working in the same locality that I was).

Motivation: I haven't marked the highest score because the manuscript seemed to be stucked in the editorial process at two times and advanced only after I contacted the editorial office.

Motivation: The first round of revision took a reasonable 2 months, and the comments were relatively constructive and appropriate, and it took us two months to address the comments. However, it took 4 months to receive the editor's decision. The reason was that one of the reviewers was not responsive, and the editor had to assign a new reviewer. Therefore, I had to address 3 reviewers' (instead of the initial 2 reviewers) comments.

Motivation: My experience of the review process with Cognition & Emotion is positive, despite it taking 3 revision rounds. The reviewers and editor comments were mostly very helpful and perceptive, and the last review round was solely due to a very precise reading by the editor, requiring a final small mistake to be corrected in the manuscript. I highly appreciated that level of detail from the editor.

Motivation: The editor wrote a friendly (yet somehow not informal) and encouraging decision letter after the first round of reviews, which made the review process actually pleasant.

Motivation: The submission and review processes were smooth. The reviewers provided constructive comments to make the manuscript stronger and clearer. In addition, the administrative editor was so caring to help us revise the manuscript aligned with the journal guideline. It was a great experience of our submission.

Motivation: The reviewer comments were helpful and reasonable, but the process took too long. There was no need to send out the second revision to the reviewers again (only a handful of very minor changes) and an editorial decision could have been made at this point already.

Motivation: I've sent my article to special issue entitled as "Machine Learning and High-Performance Computing in Healthcare Applications (VSI-lhha)"

My article proposes a textile-based system for the detection and monitoring of sitting posture disorders.

The article primarily includes high performance calculation results (99.3% accuracy).

The data taken from the seat cover were classified by 7 different machine learning methods for 5 different classes.

The proposed system has the potential to be used and personalized with a mobile application.

The proposed system has adaptable components for the care of inpatients, especially for the prevention of bedsores.

I shared all the data I used in my article with the readers.

For the first time in the literature, a kinect-based automatic labeling method is proposed.

I think that my article deserves to be submitted at least for peer review.

I've contacted the editor-in-chief of journal and editor of the special issue so that they could explain why it doesn't fit the scope of the journal even with a few sentences about rejection but anyone didn't return .

Motivation: The review was delayed by half of the year just because one of the reviewers did not respond. The editors did not try to invite a new reviewer and informed us of this situation after four months.
I wasted a long time for outright rejection. It was a terrible experience.
