Motivation:
Reviewers provided food for thought, agreed that the study is exciting and novel, but perhaps not outstanding enough for AJS. Editor just stated that their decision was influenced by the reviewers.

Motivation:
The review process took 17 months. The reviewers had no expertise in the relevant theory or methods. When I tried to contact the editorial office to get an update on the status of our submission, I got no response. (Efforts to contact the journal included 6 attempts directed at the editor and managing editor, and included both email and telephone messages.)

Motivation:
The website suggested a processing time of 16 weeks, it took 38. The reviews were pretty good be considerably different in strength and the overall verdict was not clear given the different opinions of the reviewers.
