n/a | 2 | 5 (excellent) |
4 (very good) |
Accepted | 2020 |
| Motivation: The review process was of very good quality. However, it took a long time after first submission before the manuscript was sent out for review. | ||||||||
| Journal of Animal Ecology | n/a | n/a | 47.0 days |
n/a | n/a | n/a | Rejected (im.) | 2020 |
| Motivation: The time to a desk reject was quite long, however, it was during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic which may have delayed everything. The Associate Editor read my paper carefully and gave a careful explanation of the rejection. I was told approximately 85% of papers are rejected. | ||||||||

24.1 weeks |
n/a | 2 | 5 (excellent) |
3 (good) |
Accepted | 2019 |
| Motivation: Reviews were of outstanding quality and definitely improved the manuscript. However, editorial decisions were very slow, each decision taking 31 to 42 days to arrive (counting only days in which the manuscript was in the editors' hand, not in reviewers'). | ||||||||

n/a | n/a | n/a | Rejected (im.) | 2018 |
| Motivation: I waited 8 weeks for a manuscript to rejected outright. This is unacceptable for me. | ||||||||
| Journal of Animal Ecology | n/a | n/a | 28.0 days |
n/a | n/a | n/a | Rejected (im.) | 2018 |
| Motivation: I found 4 weeks an unacceptably long time to wait for a desk rejection. I even emailed to the editorial office to find out what was going on, but got a meaningless one-line reply. When other journals can make a decision with 48 hours, I find 4 weeks inexcusable. | ||||||||
| Journal of Animal Ecology | n/a | n/a | 32.0 days |
n/a | n/a | n/a | Rejected (im.) | 2017 |
| Motivation: I found taking 32 days to reject without sending to review quite unacceptable. | ||||||||
