Motivation: I have a good experience with the Journal of Systems and Software. I will give 50% credit for this manuscript to the JSS reviewers because they rejected this manuscript two times, although I acknowledge that the standards of the previous drafts were too low for the JSS. But I have improved it a lot, and it got accepted with minor revisions within 4 months.

Motivation: My domain is software engineering, and considering JSS as a good tier venue, I usually submit my manuscript there. The review was rigorous, fair, and timely. There were no personal adjectives mentioned in the review; total objective language was used, and I am extremely happy to see the standards of the Journal of Systems and Software.
