Drawn back
Motivation:
The peer review process at Chemosphere was extremely slow. It took over a month for our paper to be assigned to an editor. Eventually after several email exchanges with the editor, they identified peer reviewers for the article. The final peer review comments were quite straightforward and fair; however, we ultimately decided to withdraw the paper because Chemosphere was delisted from Web of Science.

Motivation:
One reviewer was specifically asking to add more information regarding a topic which is not the focus of my manuscript. We added some information concisely and after all the modifications, the manuscript was lengthened by more than 3000 words. Still, the reviewer felt the changes were cosmetic.

Motivation:
It should be faster to consider, whether the manuscript would be of interest for journal readers. When writing an e-mail to editors directly from the submission system (asking why the manuscript is still with the editor after 4 weeks), I obtained no response.
