Outcome
Motivation:
Clear requests by reviewers and fast editorial process.
Motivation:
Overall, the review process was timely. The reviewer comments from the first round seemed to lack concrete suggestions for improvement, although the associate editor made an effort to interpret some comments/opinions and rephrase them as suggestions for changes to the manuscript, which was appreciated. The second round of reviews, although received quickly, did not at all acknowledge the changes made to the manuscript except to say that the study findings are not significant enough to publish in the journal. Frankly, if this is the reason for rejection, I would rather the manuscript be rejected outright on the first round so I would be free to submit elsewhere.
Motivation:
The reviews were really helpful and encouraging, but the editor rejected the paper due to lack of impact.
Motivation:
Very poor process. Only one review from a reviewer with overly narrow focus. Did not give fair evaluation of overall merit. Editor did not get alternate reviews or supplement with own evaluation.
Motivation:
Thorough reviews from knowledgeable reviewers; Quick decisions by editor; No delays at any point in process. Also very quick from acceptance to proofs & online publication.
Motivation:
The review process was highly nourished by the executive editor as he suggested some changes in the paper at the first manuscript. After that it was sent to the reviewers. The reviewers were very kind to find the real bottlenecks of the research and write-up in the manuscripts and helped how to change the document. I believe it gradually teaches the researchers.
Motivation:
Very quick reviewing process. Short time between resubmitting the manuscript and editor decision.
Motivation:
Despite the negative response, reviews and comments by the editor were detailed and thorough and the reviewing process was quite fast.
Motivation:
quick turnaround; responsive editor; useful comments made by the reviewers; very well managed journal
Motivation:
The editors and editorial staff was responsive and relatively prompt. There were a few delays in review due to the fact that it was submitted just before holiday season and probably because one of the reviewers took longer than expected.

Motivation:
The editor and reviewers worked hard to help me work with polishing my manuscript and speeding its publication
Motivation:
The paper was sent to 3 reviewers first. The reports were largely positive. However, the editor was not happy about the quality of these reports. So he decided to send the paper to 2 more reviewers, who later had negative opinion on the topic (largely not how the topic was handled by us) of the paper. Got a rejection at last. However, the entire process was relatively fast.
Motivation:
There was some slight delay in the first review round, only because one of the reviewers didn't submit the report. However, the review report I got was of great value to improve quality of the paper. The delay in publishing the paper after getting acceptance from the editor was bit disappointing (1 year), but possibly because many papers are in the queue.
Motivation:
The review process is excellent. I had fast replay by editor. The review notes were detailed and very useful in order to improve the manuscrit.
Motivation:
one reviewer was unnecerily harsh and rejected, two others were supportive
Motivation:
The editor suggested resubmitting the article to a journal from a slightly different subject area.
Motivation:
The rejection was softened by the comment that the editor desk rejects about 80% of the submissions assigned to them.
Motivation:
Fast review process, high quality review, constructive comments and criticism of the referees
Motivation:
The overall process was quite long. It took almost 1 year for the article to be published. The reviewers comments were sensible and the suggested changes improved the quality of the paper.
Motivation:
Perfect handling of the issue.
