Motivation: Reviews were thorough, however it took almost 110 days to first decision. This was despite the fact that I could see via the online portal that the reviews themselves had been completed weeks prior to this. Took more than 1 email for this to be acknowledged and a decision sent. Total handling time was very long. However once accepted the paper was formatted and posted online very quickly.
