Motivation: JASA-EL (before being spun off from JASA, I don't know about the policy now) does not permit major revisions. The reviewers noted several items that may or may not be important, but overall they did not appreciate the concept described in the manuscript.

Motivation: It seems that it took a bit long to send the manuscript to an associate editor (2 weeks). However, the associate editor was really fast about it.

Motivation: The first turn-around time was a bit long, but once I revised the paper, the editor accepted the paper without sending it back to the reviewers. That certainly expedited the process.

Motivation: The submission was for Express Letters category. I am disappointed that the decision was reject, but the reviews were fair. I revised the paper for a different journal which is more descriptively oriented, and it was eventually accepted.
