Motivation: I was impressed with the journal and how my manuscript was reviewed and finally accepted. The editors work with the authors to produce a high quality paper. I also appreciated that the editor made the decision to accept the paper after revision without sending it back to review, despite substantial changes. This greatly reduces the time to the publishing.
