Motivation: The initial review only took a couple of months, which requested major revisions. Following revision and resubmission, the editor was unable to immediately secure the previous reviewers, but judged the revisions to be sufficient and only requested a few other minor revisions before final acceptance.

Motivation: Scirev did not allow us to enter that the review process was as following:
We submitted, but the manuscript got rejected with the option of resubmission after the first review round. The reason was because the scope of our paper was too limited. Conditions for resubmission were adding data from different sensors and increasing the length of the paper to discuss interactive effects between added data and original data. Other feedback from both reviewers was also extremely helpful to enhance the scientific credibility of our manuscript.
The paper was revised and resubmitted, which then got sent back to one reviewer (same as round 1) who found the changes sufficient as well as the AE. Minor adjustments were requested in terms of language and grammar.
The decision for minor revisions was sent to us on the 7th of March 2023 and these changes were submitted on the 19th of March 2023. Overall, the review process of this journal was thorough and fair.

Motivation: One reviewer seemed positive, the other did not understand the methods and seemed not to understand that it was a research note (lots of comments on more literature, etc)

Motivation: Process was not very slow (review period included Holiday season). The editorial assistants were picky with regression table styles but everything else was smooth. Reviewer quality was high.
