57.4 weeks	57.4 weeks	n/a	3	4 (very good)	5 (excellent)	Rejected	2020
Motivation: My paper was rejected but the review process was just one month. It is a top journal with a high number of submissions. It is impressive how they obtained three reviews of high quality in a short period of time.

4.4 weeks	4.4 weeks	n/a	4	4 (very good)	3 (good)	Rejected	2015
Motivation: Given the reviews (one said to accept it right away), I felt that immediate rejection was a harsh decision. It seems really difficult to be invited for an R&R for this journal.
13.3 weeks	17.7 weeks	n/a	3	4 (very good)	5 (excellent)	Accepted	2014
4.6 weeks	4.6 weeks	n/a	3	0 (very bad)	2 (moderate)	Rejected	2015
Motivation: The journal executed the review process quickly, which is always appreciated. However, the reviews were poorly written and poorly executed--to the extent that it is questionable whether or not some of the reviewers actually read the manuscript. The quality and helpfulness of the reviews was supplanted by the speed of the review process.
11.3 weeks	11.3 weeks	n/a	3	4 (very good)	5 (excellent)	Rejected	2013
Motivation: I received my rejection in less than 3 months, the reviews were of exceptionally high quality and improved the later version of my paper significantly.
4.3 weeks	5.3 weeks	n/a	4	5 (excellent)	5 (excellent)	Accepted	2012
Motivation: Although the reviews (4) were very challenging, they helped make for what we hope will be a lasting contribution to the literature. Top-ranked journal for a reason!
