Motivation: JCB has an academic Ed Board. The Editor who handled my paper did a great job. We had two positive reviews and one negative one. The Editor gave us clear guidance on what we needed to do to revise our paper. This included instructions to ignore the negative reviewer. Overall the process was fair, balanced and I will submit more work there.

Motivation: Based on my experience, IJGIS journal is very good and fast in giving the initial decision of the first round of review, whether the article is accepted or not. This is very important. In addition, the received comments where scientifically valid and important in order to improve the article. The duration for second round of revision was also acceptable. I personally believe this journal is one of the bests in the domain of GIS.

Motivation: I believe the reviewers' comments were constructive in improving the quality of my manuscript. However, the whole process, especially the first round of review took too long. I was glad that they hurried up to publish it by the end of the year, though.

Motivation: The review process was rapid. Some of the comments I received were difficult to handle and sometimes contradictory. I would have like the opinion of the editor on some of those "conflicting" comments. However, I had plenty of time to review the manuscript and resubmit it.

Motivation: A relatively painless process was provided by CMI; the reviewers were obviously experts in the field in which our research sat, and provided insightful comments to improve the manuscript. This was all accomplished in a suitable (6 week) timescale.

Motivation: 1. After I submit my paper, the current status was "submitted to journal" for one month

2. After I resubmit my paper, (the overall decision was a minor revise), the decision process was very long.

Motivation: After the second round, the decision was "reject and resubmit". Then the reviewers have been changed and I received the new reports. Since the reviewers were not the same, the points suggested by the new reviewers are completely different.
