Motivation: Unfortunately, it took 9 months to review my manuscript, and it was ultimately rejected. I followed up with the editor twice, and each time I was told it was still under review. The long delay was frustrating and discouraging, and I hope my colleagues consider how much time and energy such delays can take.
