Motivation:
The journal has a quick response, but remains doubtful in the selection process, does the editor really check the submitted paper or takes the decision directly from the title ?

Motivation:
The editor did not give any comment, fully referring to the reviewers, and did not even sign by name. The reviews were not very critical, but the manuscript was rejected outright. On the positive side, the process was very fast.

Motivation:
Crazy review process. We got: major revision / major revision / minor revision / it can be accepted after quick fix-ups / REJECTED.
We were very close to the acceptance, and on the penultimate email from the editor Edward Ciaccio we received an email with the following text:
> Your manuscript has been carefully reviewed, and we would be happy to publish it,
> provided that it is revised in accordance with the enclosed reviewers' comments.
The comments were about the improvement of the English grammar of the article. We asked a colleague to perform an English proof-reading and addressed all the changes. Then the editor decided to reject the paper in the end because of few sentences with English mistakes.
I will never submit an article to this journal ever again.

Motivation:
The manuscript should be refined for English grammatical structure and phraseology. The manuscript should be polished by an English linguist or language service (note in marked-up copy text where changes are made).
