Motivation: This has been the toughest but also most rewarding review process we have ever gone through (with an experience of more than 70 peer-reviewed articles together and a journal editor on board). The quality of the reviews was remarkable. We were forced to think further, broader, deeper, and again. We came out of the process exhausted, but extremly satisfied. Academic collegiality at its best.

Motivation: The reviewers failed to recognize the fact that a new method of numerically deriving the exact probability of error for M-ary PSK in flat fading channels was proposed, besides a new channel independent precoder. The reviewers also claimed that the proposed channel independent precoder is very similar to the existing SC-OFDM. However, again the reviewers did not recognize that many of the results for the proposed channel independent precoder, were derived differently.

Motivation: I have published two papers with JCOMP, and in both cases I was very pleased with the overall process. The reviews were useful in pointing out ways to improve the paper, and the process was relatively fast, less than 6 months from first submission to publication. Above all, I liked the fact that the reviewers were not trying to impose their viewpoint, as in "this is how I would have done it", but mostly concerned with technical points.

Motivation: This paper was assigned to three reviewers, and in addition it was reviewed by the associate editor as well. Some of the reviews reflected personal opinions rather factual errors. Indeed, I later realized that the published paper contains some typos in one of the formulas. I wished the reviewers were more attentive to that, rather than pushing their own philosophy. Moreover, having 3+1 reviewers means a lot of constituencies to satisfy.
