Motivation:
we were confident the topic, the article quality and the study would be of interest to the journal. But after 3 weeks, without explanation, our article bounced back. Editorial team did not provide reasons and suggested other journals for transfer, not really relevant or with decent impact.
This was disappointing but this happens, of course.
Refusal could have come quicker, we would have been able to submit to another journal earlier.

Motivation:
Very speedy response, though this was for an unsolicited commentary piece rather than a research paper which may have been easier to reach a decision on quickly. Excellent and thoughtful review received which was clearly from a subject expert.
