Rejected
2021
Motivation:
After 1 month of submission the paper was initially rejected based on the use of a specific design which was not used in the paper and was factually incorrect. Upon appeal the paper was reassessed and sent out to review, and the resulting reviews (after 2 months and few days from the reassessment, 3 months and few days after initial submission ) were informative and raised legitimate concerns mainly based on the discussion of background literature and discussion of the results. However no specific reason was provided for the rejection.

Motivation:
I did not agree with their reasoning for the manuscript not being a good fit. I thought it should have at least been sent out for review. However, I am grateful for the quick process with which it was rejected, which allowed me to send it to a new journal
