Motivation: I was completely satisfied with the Editorial handling of that manuscript. Although it was submitted as a Letter and finally accepted as a Regular Article, the publication process was quick and efficient.

Motivation: Everything was promptly, professionally. The article appeared in Scopus quickly labeled as "in press". But the administration of my university did not register the article as published until the output of a hard copy. Thus, the publication process took about 10 months.

Motivation: The quality of the reviews was ok, although they were not very detailed. All in all, the whole process took much too long, it appeared that the editor was very slow in dealing with the submission.

Motivation: The review process was very quick and all comments were clear and fair. I may have been lucky that it was a slack time of year for reviewers (Dec/Jan) but as an author I could not have asked for more!

Motivation: I was disappointed that both the editor and one of the reviewers failed to understand a key concept addressed in the paper. Consequently their comments largely missed the point. I suspect the editor (who is an expert in this field) took the reviewer comments at face value rather than reading the paper closely himself. But at least the process did not take too long!

Motivation: Initial review was very slow (7 months) and the quality of reviews was variable. But it was good to have 4 reviews as you are less likely to be hit by 1 or 2 "rogue reviewers"!

Motivation: I was very happy with the quality of the reviews I received. The reviewers were very knowledgeable about the topic, and pointed out (constructively!) a number of important points which I had neglected in the first submission. The final product was much improved thanks to the reviewers and editor. This was my first time submitting to this journal, but I will certainly submit again.
