Motivation: Reviews were mostly excellent. However, the review process stalled for a long time without explanation. After six months of inaction I contacted the associate editor dealing with my manuscript, who did not reply to repeated emails over the following six months. At that point I contacted the editors and the situation was resolved rapidly.

Motivation: Two reviewers were negative so they did not wait for the third to make things quicker. Reviewers were harsh but fair and all was done relatively quickly.

Motivation: Standard handling, based on two reviewers who were not excited about the manuscript and did not find the evidence compelling enough, the editor decided not to wait for a third reviewer.

Motivation: Data were too old; but with a changing media landscape I guess this is not entirely unreasonable.

Motivation: Only two reviews received, even though a third reviewer accepted initially (who did not submit a review).
4 months in total is a rather long handling process.

Motivation: The review process was fast. It took only one day before we knew that we were under review. The quality of the reviews was ok. One had good ideas about how we could improve our manuscript, the other did not seem to have read the manuscript that well, based on the review it gave.
