Motivation: Took quite a long time for the editor to announce the decision after the system showed that the reviewers have finished their work. Reviewers' comments are useful.

Motivation: Of the two papers I've had published with this journal so far, this first one was to date among the longest and most challenging review processes. The length of time overall may appear understandable given the 3 reviews that had to be undertaken. However, receiving the first review 7 months after initial submission is in my opinion of very low caliber. Followed by a further 7 months and then 1.5 months for the other reviews, it is my opinion that no review process should take this long, particularly if the paper was of fairly standard length.

Motivation: We were in general happy with the pace and level of communication received during the submission and review process. This seems to be an efficiently run journal.

Reviewer comments were fair and in some cases necessitated considerable effort to address within a relatively tight resubmission period, but in doing so I can say the manuscript was improved.
