Motivation: This journal has a very swift editorial policy and manuscripts are rapidly sent out for review, and editorial decisions are taken fast. Still, he editors carefully study the review reports and do not only automatically forward them to the authors: This is very helpful and shows a high quality of the editorial work at Powder Technology. I suggest that the other Elsevier journals would adopt this policy, because many of them would have a lot to learn from it.
