Motivation: The reviewers identified so-called weaknesses that were not weaknesses at all. They were easily refutable. However, the editor did not give us the chance to revise the manuscript, arguing that the weaknesses were difficult to address. It is a pity that we were not able to defend our work. I appreciate the editor for sending out the manuscript to reviewers, but I give a low score for judgment of the revisions required. The main argument against our manuscript was flawed and could be easily refuted.

Motivation: It took this journal 11 months and two rounds of review to reach the conclusion that my article should be rejected. In the first round the managing editor conducted the review and suggested revisions. I painstakingly addressed her reviews which were decent. In the second round the editor found a new reviewer and their review was really terrible. It was very lazy and not did not seems fair at all - it made sweeping comments with no justification. It also attacked the research design which is something fundamental that obviously remained unchanged. The editor should never have sent the paper out for review and made us go through 11 months if there was a design flaw. This is my second terrible experience with this journal and I will definitely never submit there and will actively discourage any of my students and colleagues from submitting there.
