Motivation:
Long interval from first submission to the decision (>3 months). Associate editor provided a short note stating that reviewer's ratings for the priority of the work in combination with several major issues was the reason for rejection. However, 2 out of the 3 reviewers stated that the work was interesting/novel and the third reviewer did not dispute its merit. Comments were easily addressable and none of them pointed to a major methodological flaw or lack of scientific validity. Overall a disappointing process and outcome.
