| Motivation: A first decision (major revision) was made available to the author 4 months after initial submission following to several remiders and was based on the evaluation of one Associate Editor. A final decision was taken 4.5 months after submitting the revised paper upon repeated reminders to the Editor-in_Chief herself. | |||||||

Rejected |
| Motivation: Submission involved mailing paper version to Italy. Article initially rejected, despite positive reviewer comments. Request was made for editor to reconsider, who agreed to a resubmission (after 6 weeks of consideration). Revised manuscript submitted, addressing reviewers' comments. Revised manuscript returned to 1 reviewer and subsequently rejected. |

| Motivation: The review was inconsistent in its outlook and poorly expressed. It should have been sent to a second reviewer. | |||||||

| Motivation: While the editors originally promised feedback within a month and a half, and they only got back to me after three months, their message showed that the article went through a proper internal review process and the reasons for rejections were fair and absolutely acceptable. | |||||||

| Motivation: The reviews we received were quite positive and constructive, but the editor rejected the manuscript anyway. | |||||||
| Sexually Transmitted Infections | n/a | n/a | 13.0 days |
n/a | n/a | n/a | Rejected (im.) |
| Motivation: Although the final submission was May 19, I actually submitted it on May 5, after which the editors asked me to provide additional information which created further delays. In my opinion, if they were going to reject the paper they could have done so without asking for the additional information and causing this delay. | |||||||
| Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine | n/a | n/a | 30.4 days |
n/a | n/a | n/a | Rejected (im.) |
| Motivation: Editorial decision took 4 weeks, than rejected without review. An inquiry after three weeks if a review process had been initiated was not answered. Standard rejection letter with reference to "immediate" (!!!) editorial decision. | |||||||

| European Physical Journal, B | Immediately accepted after 4.3 weeks | Accepted (im.) | |||||
| Motivation: My paper was accepted within one month. This is probably because it was not sent to external referees. At least I did not receive any referee reports. | |||||||
| Physical Review E | n/a | n/a | 8.0 days |
n/a | n/a | n/a | Rejected (im.) |
| Motivation: My paper was rejected by an associate editor without sending it to external reviewers. Although I believe my paper to be of similar quality as other papers that do get published in the journal, I was happy that it took only about a week to receive the rejection message. So little time was lost. | |||||||

| Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering | n/a | n/a | 121.6 days |
n/a | n/a | n/a | Rejected (im.) |
| Motivation: I have never experienced similar in my 20-years research, incl about 100 paper submissions. One month after the rejection we finally got an explanation from the editor: "It should be an initial reject as it is a narrow study limited to Norwegian shelf and does not add value to the readers." In fact, the paper does not deal with the Norwegian shelf at all - it deals with the rig market in Gulf of Mexico... |

| Motivation: The process started very well and quick. However, after the first round the remaining referee came up with questionable accusations of scientific dishonesty. I feel that the editor could have cut the process short after the first round of revisions. That would have saved 3 months of nonsense. | |||||||
