Motivation: I've sent my article to special issue entitled as "Machine Learning and High-Performance Computing in Healthcare Applications (VSI-lhha)"

My article proposes a textile-based system for the detection and monitoring of sitting posture disorders.

The article primarily includes high performance calculation results (99.3% accuracy).

The data taken from the seat cover were classified by 7 different machine learning methods for 5 different classes.

The proposed system has the potential to be used and personalized with a mobile application.

The proposed system has adaptable components for the care of inpatients, especially for the prevention of bedsores.

I shared all the data I used in my article with the readers.

For the first time in the literature, a kinect-based automatic labeling method is proposed.

I think that my article deserves to be submitted at least for peer review.

I've contacted the editor-in-chief of journal and editor of the special issue so that they could explain why it doesn't fit the scope of the journal even with a few sentences about rejection but anyone didn't return .

Motivation: Editor was unable to find reviewers and so it wasn't until 4 months later that we received news of the rejection. One of the reviews was very brief and contained factual errors.

Motivation: We have had a desk rejection after 5 months! No reason was given, excepting they are 'receiving many papers'. Totally regrettable. This is not a serious journal.

Motivation: The review was delayed by half of the year just because one of the reviewers did not respond. The editors did not try to invite a new reviewer and informed us of this situation after four months.
I wasted a long time for outright rejection. It was a terrible experience.

Motivation: The manuscript took almost a month to be processed due to it being un-submitted for formatting "issues" that are not laid out in the submission guidelines. The review quality was exceptionally poor with one reviewer making methodological comments without knowing anything about quantitative methods. Another reviewer did not read past page 12.

Motivation: This was a data visualization so the process was slightly different than a traditional research article submission. It appeared to be reviewed by members of the editorial board rather than external reviewers. The editors apologized for the delays in the initial review by explaining that they had to wait until the next committee meeting. The topic of my data visualization was very "out there" (it had been desk rejected by a previous journal) so I was pleasantly surprised when the editors gave it the green light. Overall it was a good experience. I will definitely be submitting here again in the future.

Motivation: The initial peer review process was a bit lengthy, but the reviewers' comments were mostly reasonable. Our paper was a minor revision, but it also took a little longer for the acceptance decision after resubmission. After acceptance, the process to publication was very smooth.
