Outcome
Motivation:
Thorough peer review by people with obvious knowledge of the subject, yet the reviews were timely. The editor was professional and no additional correspondence required. Communications with production/technical/billing were all smooth.
Motivation:
Very rapid review process with two well-reasoned reviews. Although disappointed with the result, I cannot fault the process.
Motivation:
The review process was very smooth. I liked the reviewers' reports as they helped to improve the manuscript.
Motivation:
Took too much time (almost two months) from revision to acceptance of which the manuscript was 'with editor' for more than a month.
Motivation:
The journal has improved response time significantly - now in par with what one would expect - even recieved proofs same day as acceptance
Motivation:
The review process was speedy and the manuscript was sent to three reviewers over two rounds which overall greatly improved its quality. The editor handled the manuscript in a timely manner.
Motivation:
My experience submitting my manuscript to the Journal of Psychologists and Counsellors in Schools was excellent. Reviews were received in a timely manner, and the feedback was thoughtful, well considered, and added value. The Editor responded very quickly at each stage and provided feedback and support to ensure the process was smooth, professional, and of high quality.
Motivation:
The editor was incredibly clear, kind, prompt, and helpful in her responses. Her grace and understanding were especially appreciated, as this was the first article I have ever submitted.
Motivation:
Everyone involved -- editor, reviewers, journal staff -- was professional and helpful. The reviews showed that the reviewers had read the manuscript and looked at the submitted materials carefully; the reviews provided helpful ideas. The editor guided us through the process smoothly. Several times I had to ask the journal's staff for help; I got help quickly. Start to finish (submission to publication of the copyedited version) took just 11 weeks. I was impressed.
Motivation:
Too niche apparently, but reviews that helped improve the manuscript for the next journal.
Motivation:
The review reports came within a reasonable time frame. Moreover, the quality of reviews was very high. The reviewers were critical and constructive. This was a positive surprise, because the same manuscript had not received meaningful reviews with another journal in the same field.
Motivation:
My experience with the submission process was very good and it did not take long for my article to publish as well, i believe that as long as the material is good in the paper, their is novelty, the language is correct, then the journal will accept the article. although it might take some time in the review process as it still depends on if the reviewers are available.
Motivation:
It was a relatively normal review process. The handling editor wrote many comments on his own, doing almost his own review report, which was a bit weird, but fine. Overall an average good review process.
Motivation:
6 simultaneous reviews was hard work but the first round of comments were very good
Motivation:
The reviewers gave detailed comments to improve the manuscript and identified theoretical problems with the current manuscript.
Motivation:
The reviewers were constructive and helpful. The assiatant editor was also helpful. A weak point is the on-line manuscript handling system of this journal which is not a user-friendly system.
Motivation:
I communicated with the section managing editor and the assistant editor in the manuscript handling process. Both were helpful and responsive. At the initial on-line publication of the paper they used the original supplementary table instead of the revised verion however they replaced it immediately after I requested the replacement with the revised version.
Motivation:
eNeuro handled this manuscript quickly and effectively, collecting useful reviews in a timely manner. Their double-blind process and editorial synthesis of comments were also appreciated. The whole process was smooth and steps were well-communicated.

Motivation:
Overall, I found the process to be quick and efficient. The reviewers' comments were constructive and provided valuable insights. Additionally, the editor prepared a comprehensive list with all comments, which was very helpful. I am overall satisfied with the experience.
Motivation:
Our experience publishing an original scientific paper in the journal 'Biomolecules and Biomedicine' was very positive. All responses arrived within the specified time frame, and we promptly received clear instructions for any ambiguities. The reviews were detailed and well-intentioned, and we believe they ultimately improved the quality of the paper.
Motivation:
Pretty quick revision. Editor helped us to find to two external reviewers, and received minor revision with only 10 questions. our paper was accepted within 3 days of revision submission.
Motivation:
Although a little slow in the beginning (who is not??!) the editors were very responsive and I think the review process was excellent.
