Motivation: The review process was quite fast and smooth, even if not as fast the journal website advertises. The reports of the reviewers were quite useful.

Rejected (im.)
2020
Motivation: After spending hours to adapt my manuscript to the format and style of PeerJ Computer Science and submitting it to this journal, an editor decided after only 1 day that it was unsuitable for the journal's topics, rejected the article, and suggested to resubmit somewhere else.

The editor wrote that the article was more adapted for statistics journal than for PeerJ Computer Science.
I totally disagree with his/her decision.

Motivation: The review process was fast.
Unfortunately, the editor rejected the paper immediately without even send the it to review.
But most of his/her criticisms about the manuscript were valid and idoneous to the topic.
