Drawn back before first editorial decision after 111.0 days
Drawn back
2026
Motivation:
Not a good experience with the Journal. We paid $200 for submission and for over 4 months of silence, and there was no way to check the status. After several emails, we received an ambiguous email with no clear indication of when the article would reach a first decision of either desk rejection or be sent out for review.

Motivation:
Reasonable referee reports, which we believed we could have processed in the timespan of an R&R. Quick process, but note there is a submission fee involved (we paid 200 USD)
