Motivation:
The peer-review process was of high quality. The reviewers’ reports and suggestions were highly relevant and contributed significantly to improving the manuscript. The editor was approachable and responded to emails in a timely manner. The only drawback was the overall duration of the process, as it took over a year from submission to publication.

Motivation:
Long review process. Two reviews were around a paragraph with no engagement with the actual manuscript. One reviewer was constructive and helpful, but freely admitted to not understanding the basics of the quantitative methods despite providing critiques. Editor indicated agreeing with the reviewers despite the reviewers providing contradictory statements, such as one reviewer saying there was bad engagement with the literature and the other indicating that the literature review was easy to follow and comprehensive.

Motivation:
Overall, review comments were constructive, and the handling of our manuscript was excellent. However, I think it would be great if the entire review timeline could be shortened.
