Outcome
Motivation:
Fast editorial turnaround. We felt the editors' reasons for rejecting were not unreasonable.
Motivation:
Fast editorial turnaround, fair assessment for why it didn't fit with the journal.
Motivation:
Fast editorial turnaround, and good suggestions of other more suitable journals.
Motivation:
Reviews were mostly fair and had some criticisms that we felt we could address. Unfortunately, the editor rejected completely without opportunity to revise, even though the reviewers seemed open to revisions in their comments.
Motivation:
A very long review process. I received a very strange report that contained an "amalgamation" of two reviews, as it was explained by the editor. It was impossible to judge whether one, two or three persons wrote the review report. The review report itself was very angry and provided no help. Non-transparent reviewing. I will not submit a new paper until the current editorial team will be changed by new editors.
Motivation:
The reviewers did not understand the work. Instead instead of declaring this, they based their arguments in impressions and declared that they did not believe some of the results. Those results were based on published and well-known theoretical tools.
I could not answer to them to proof the validity of the work as it was rejected
I could not answer to them to proof the validity of the work as it was rejected
Motivation:
Though our paper was rejected for too much focus on methodological development, I was satisfied with the overall journal experience. While 2.5 weeks for a desk rejection may seem long, it was submitted shortly before the typical US winter holiday break, and therefore most people would likely hear sooner.
Motivation:
Reviewing process was thorough, communication was quick.

Rejected
Motivation:
The reviewers of this journal seem to be expecting to read only what they believe. If you dare to send a manuscript of a topic even mildly controversial, you will be rejected.
Motivation:
Editor was careful, balanced, and reasonable. Review reports were satisfactory. Speed of whole process was good.
Motivation:
I got comments from two referees. It didn't take long. One of the referees raised an important objection to my argument.
Motivation:
The immediate rejection was unfair because the editor has not understood the submission because of a sloppy assessment. I replied but the editor refused to admit his mistake.
Motivation:
One reviewer did not appear to have read the manuscript in detail and had generic comments. The second reviewer, however, provided relevant constructive criticism, which we consider fair and has helped strengthen the quality of the material.
Motivation:
Two R&R were not justified, the editorial decision could have been made faster. Quality of reviews on the second round was low. Process was generally slow.
Motivation:
Given that one reviewer was positive and the other recommended Reject, I believe the process could have benefited from a 3rd reviewer.
Motivation:
The submission process itself is very rapid, and peer-review decision was given 40 days after first submission. (Review took only 5 days!) Reviews, however, were very concise and the reviewers didn't seem to have any expertise in manuscript subject, which was primarily the reason to reject the paper as - in editors opinion - it didn't fit the scope of Academic Radiology journal.
Motivation:
The reviewers were timely, but only one reviewer provided feedback, and this person apparently knew very little about the topic. The editor asked for a revision, but provided no specific suggestions about how to improve the MS. In total, the editor and the reviewer provided 9 sentences of "feedback."
Motivation:
One review suggesting R&R, one review recommending various stylistic changes/clarification. Rejection.
Motivation:
I honestly got one or two of the most incompetent referee reports I've ever had. The editor, whilst nice, seems to not to be able to really discern good from bad quality reports, and referees.
Motivation:
I hope the reviewers focus on more about the quality of the paper and less on other factors.
Motivation:
review process was very quick. We received comments from 2 reviewer's. One of the reviewer suggested relevant changes to the manuscript and second reviewer was more or less naive with his comments, who simply rejected the manuscript, without going through the text thoroughly. Therefore editor decided to reject our manuscript for possible publication in Advanced Materials.
Motivation:
The reviewers did not do a good job on reviewing this manuscript. The review level was that of a C class conference.
Motivation:
We received reviewers'comments at the beginning of January. If the editor was positive with the paper, one of the reviewers was so angry (maybe because he had done the review during the winter festive season) that he wrote only two short lines recommending rejection.
Motivation:
Europe-Asia Studies was my worst experience in publication. I waited almost 8 months for reviewers'comments and the paper received rejection. Although one reviewer was fair and recommended further revision, the other two reviewers asked only for citing their works. Awful journal !
