Motivation: The durations of the reviews were less than 4 weeks, so it is relatively fast. The comments of two reviewers were rigorous and helpful for the improvement of my manuscript, so we revised our paper twice. We extended the revision time once, and the editor was easy to communicate.

Motivation: The entire process went very quickly (though we did pay for Fast-Track) and relatively smoothly. I would have liked more feedback on what was going on during the review and re-review, but everything was completed within the promised time.

Motivation: I asked a specific question about the requirements for clinical trials pre-registration and received an immediate reply from the editor stating that our paper did not meet their requirements, but might be considered for publication in their sister journal for feasibility trials. I am very grateful to have received such a clear, prompt response.
