Motivation:
Seemed a bit slow for a desk reject (~2.5 weeks) but the submission process was relatively straightforward so not too much time lost.

Motivation:
GEC kept me well-informed throughout the review process - I was constantly getting emails about the status of the manuscript and I felt that the review process was timely. Two minor points to add however. First, I would have liked to have known at the outset whether or not it had been sent out for review as there's quite a long wait at that point where you're not sure whether it's been immediately rejected or not. Second, I also tried and failed to get advance warning of final publication so that my institute could do some PR, but despite emails requesting notice, that didn't happen - I just got an email saying it was published already.
