Motivation: The submisson process was straighforward. The first review round was quick. The four reviewers comments were thourough and to the point although one reviewer was seemed negative on the study design and did not align with the other reviewers. This fact made the manuscript go through a second review. The editor was quick to accept the paper after additional explanations/comments from our side. All positive experience although it might seem too cumbersume to enroll four reviewers when three would be suffiecient in this case.

Motivation: I was impressed by the speedy response from the editorial board in terms of acknowledging receipt of my submitted paper, and even more by the positive response from the Editor in chief himself in accepting my article without further editing, except for basic formatting, over a very short duration time. Very inspiring to authors like myself.

Motivation: Theoretical papers are sent to referees who are experts in experiment and vice versa. Referee reports are not logical with respect to the content of the manuscript and mostly motivated by the own ideas of the referees.

Motivation: The reviews were very short (97 words together), very general (e.g. #1: "It is very descriptive and low in interest for the audience"; #2: "There is little scientific aspect in the paper") and not supported with any clear reference to the text. If I would not have been a seasoned author, for example a PhD candidate, I would have been disincentivized.
