Motivation:
Very quick process. Review quality was overall good, sometimes missing the limitations of the word limit at this journal. Editor engaged with the paper and highlighted most important changes to be made.
Drawn back before first editorial decision after 60.0 days
Drawn back
2024
Motivation:
This claims the title of the most dysfunctional manuscript handling in my career, with over 100 submissions. After two months, the paper was still not under review despite several emails to the editorial office. After I offered to suggest ten reviewers, the editorial assistant wrote me that the journal could not take suggestions because it would breach the integrity of the review process. It's an absolute mess of a journal. I strongly advise scholars to steer clear of it as long as the current editorial team is in office.
