Motivation:
Everyone involved -- editor, reviewers, journal staff -- was professional and helpful. The reviews showed that the reviewers had read the manuscript and looked at the submitted materials carefully; the reviews provided helpful ideas. The editor guided us through the process smoothly. Several times I had to ask the journal's staff for help; I got help quickly. Start to finish (submission to publication of the copyedited version) took just 11 weeks. I was impressed.

Motivation:
The first round of reviews was quite slow (compared to previous reviews on sci-rev.org) due to the reviewers, and unlike some other journals they do not provide an estimated time frame for the first round. After acceptance, the Elsevier production office kept contacting me to ask for documents that I had previously uploaded, which caused further delays.

Motivation:
In the first round of reviews, from the 3 reviews, one of them was very vague and difficult to understand. Other 2 reviewes were very good.
In the second round of reviews, the comments were vague and impossible to know what reviewers were asking. After talking to the editor it was possible to address these concerns and submit the final version of the paper.
