Motivation:
A reasonably quick turnover compared to other journals, and especially the decision not to send out the manuscript a second time actually speeds up things considerably.

Motivation:
This was a data visualization so the process was slightly different than a traditional research article submission. It appeared to be reviewed by members of the editorial board rather than external reviewers. The editors apologized for the delays in the initial review by explaining that they had to wait until the next committee meeting. The topic of my data visualization was very "out there" (it had been desk rejected by a previous journal) so I was pleasantly surprised when the editors gave it the green light. Overall it was a good experience. I will definitely be submitting here again in the future.

Motivation:
Editor argued that the concepts were not clear in the front end and they were not link to the literature. Fair enough because there was an special section for it just after the introduction that the editor clearly did not read. Overall, fast review with rapid responses from managing editors.
