Motivation:
My article was first given a “minor revision” decision. After that, I waited from August 2023 to August 2024 for a second minor revision. The article was finally accepted on December 2024.
This means I submitted the article in January 2023, and the final acceptance came in December 2024, with publication in January 2025. In other words, the entire process took nearly two years, which is unacceptable.
For an article with only minor revisions, the expected timeline is usually a few weeks to a few months. Waiting more than a year for a minor revision decision is unusually long and inefficient on the part of the journal.

Motivation:
They're said:
The associate editor handling the review suggests submitting it to a more specialized journal. This suggestion has been echoed by the fact that there are very few recent Neurocomputing papers in the references.
They expect my paper had references to their journal. I think this expectation is not rational nor moral.
