Motivation:
The first reviewer was not very respectful and gave practically no feedback, he just rejected it.
The second reviewer was a little more coherent in giving his reasons, but even so we would have appreciated to know more in detail the points of improvement of the article.

Motivation:
Spending more than a year to secure a single reviewer raises major concerns about the editorial team of the journal. Making a decision based on the opinion of a single reviewer is neither justified nor professional.

Motivation:
The editor was professional and very kind. One reviewer was quite nasty in some comments mainly driven by prejudices than by experimental evidence. However, all things considered, I am satisfied about the final outcomes. I guess that reducing the time from the submission to the first review round (8 months) would be appreciated by the authors (this does not happen only because of the covid-19). Overall, if in future I will have the opportunity, I will consider this outlet again for my studies.

Motivation:
Review took 260+ days, no updates were provided during the process. The journal sent the manuscript to one reviewer, who had different theoretical and methodological perspectives than mine, and gave me no opportunity to respond.
