Motivation: Review comments were reasonable (N.B., there was a comment surrounding language and use of grammar, although it could not easily corroborated upon re-reading the manuscript). Editorial handling was excellent (e.g., editor quickly responded and apologized for a delay to the second round of reviews). Timeline was pretty reasonable compared to many other journals that are of a similar standing.

Motivation: In general, i think the editor is very nice and it just hard for him to find the reviewer who is willing to review the paper. i found it wierd because PBR reputation is fine.

Motivation: There is a huge disagreement between the reviews: one recommended minor revisions, while two recommended rejection. In particular, two reviewers who suggested rejection demonstrated misunderstanding of our study with one reviewer not even giving any reference to support the comment.
Such disagreements should be addressed through further clarifications from the authors rather than through outright rejection."

Motivation: The review process is excessively long, and the identification of suitable reviewers needs improvement. Disagreements among reviewers’ comments often remain unreconciled at an early stage, and one reviewer, who was particularly insistent on a comment, appeared to lack expertise in the topic.

Motivation: Originally we sent it the manuscript to ACS Catalysis, where we got a desk rejection in 4 hours, and invitation to redirect to Chem&Bio Eng. After some consideration we did this. We got 2 reviewers and they assessed the manuscript rather thoroughly. Revision required additional experiments that took us time, the resubmitted manuscript was in the end accepted after another small change. All in all, treatment was not particularly quick, but clearly the reviewers were good experts.
