Outcome
Motivation:
The quality of the reviews was excellent and really improved the paper. Turnaround time from reviewers and the editor was very quick. This was probably the best experience I've had with a journal so far.
Motivation:
The review reports were of high quality and contained many helpful comments. The amount of time for reviews, revisions and editorial decisions was appropriate.

Motivation:
The experience with JERA is excellent
Motivation:
The review reports were not strong to reject the paper. These review reports were not even useful for improving the paper.
Motivation:
Fast process, and reasons for rejection were explained. It was evident that the editor had read the paper.
Motivation:
Both reviewers stated, with reasonable justification, that the study was not novel enough for Nature Communications and would possibly be more suitable for a more specialized journal.
Motivation:
Smooth and fast process
Motivation:
Several weeks after submission the editorial office told me (upon request) that they didnt assign an editor to handle the manuscript yet. After 3 months I got an email rejecting the paper as not suitable for the journal, without any further explanation.

Rejected
Motivation:
I believe the concerns raised by the reviewers could have been handled in a revision if this opportunity had been provided, but the reviewers comments were constructive and helpful.
Motivation:
The article (originally a review) was rejected, but was ressubmittable as a "letter to the editor"
Motivation:
It was fast and painless process.
Motivation:
No complaints at all with this journal. Reasonably fast review time and the paper improved in light of the referees' comments. Commentary was constructive, not pedantic. No one even asked me to write out, by hand, how I dummy coded variables (protip y'all: it's 2017...I mean, it's after 1994 and all...so...the software does that..).
Very fast post-acceptance production phase as well--paper was online in about a week after official acceptance. Good copy-editing; the few changes recommended enhanced the text.
A journal ultimately reflects its editor, so Dr. Tight deserves kudos.

Motivation:
Excellent work by the editor who helped us navigate one difficult reviewer.
Motivation:
Uninformative PNAS desk rejection. At least it's fast.
