Motivation: The editor was an active participant in the review process, essentially functioning as a third reviewer. While this added a lot of work, it led to a final outcome of high quality.

Rejected
Motivation: The journal was not able to find reviewers, and when he finally found a second one, this gave a very small and generic feedback. Basically, after 5 months waiting, only one reviewer reviewed my paper and solely decided for its rejection
Drawn back before first editorial decision after 212.8 days
Drawn back
Motivation: If an appropriate reviewer cannot be found, editorial office could not solve the prolem.

Motivation: Declining the manuscript after two rounds of review due to its length seems excessive.

Motivation: I have never gone through 4 revisions for an article, but am grateful that the editors did not give up on us despite a difficult reviewer who insisted on a misunderstanding.

Motivation: Reasonable referee reports, which we believed we could have processed in the timespan of an R&R. Quick process, but note there is a submission fee involved (we paid 200 USD)

Motivation: The manuscript remained 'with the editor' until January, when we wrote to find out what had happened. The editor then sent it to the reviewers. One of them revised the manuscript in half an hour without giving any reason for the rejection. The journal has no respect for the work of researchers. After 6 months, we expected at least some justifications that could improve our work.

Motivation: Room one week for editorial check after which it was sent back with request to add page numbers to the check list. Took another week for editorial check, before it was assigned to editor for review but rejected in two days.

Motivation: The submission system of the journal is modern and comfortable. The consideration of the MS was rather fast. The first reviewer was positive on our MS, but had some serious remarks like making an experimental research for a theoretical paper.
However, the second reviewer was too picky. Some of his suggestions were out of the line and rather stupid. Like, for example, the comparison of relative total energies of the complexes does not make sense. However, it was not a comparison of absolute energies. We send the MS back following the revision with step-by-step thorough answers. But reviewer 2 was still too opposing towards our MS and rejected it the second time also.

Motivation: The editorial assistant changed some minor formatting without sending back to the author in order to speed up the process which is great. The rejection was quick and acknowledged that a review would have only delayed the decision
