Motivation:
In a multi-round review process, one reviewer did not see/receive the letter response to their review. Due to this, the next two rounds of review were repetitive and inconsistent. With a split review (one suggesting acceptance and the other suggesting major revisions / rejection), we would expect intervention from the handling editor, through sharing their perspective OR inviting a third reviewer. It seemed that the handling editor did not want to invest time in the article/ was not interested. If this was the case, it could've saved us the two year review process with an earlier rejection.

Motivation:
The initial review process was poorly handled with one clearly inappropriate review and an editor who did not pass our revisions on to the reviewers for two months. Upon appealing the decision, the appeal was handled promptly.
