Motivation: My overall experience with the IFLA Journal was positive. The review process was efficient, with the first decision (minor revision) communicated within a month. After submitting the revision, the manuscript was accepted within two days, which I greatly appreciated. However, the production phase at Sage experienced delays due to the manuscript being missing from their system. As a result, although the article was accepted on 21 February 2025, it was only published on 22 July 2025. While the review process was smooth and timely, improvements could be made in the production stage to avoid such delays.
