Motivation:
This was a very disappointing experience. We submitted our paper in August only to recieve a note from the editor that they could not find reviewers for us 6 months later. In this situation, the editorial team at least could have bothered to provide us with their own feedback and comments on the manuscript.

Motivation:
The manuscript was handled professionally and the process was smooth. I appreciated the feedback from the reviewers; I sensed that they were highly competent reviewers. One of the reviewers gave very comprehensive feedback and great ideas for a follow-up paper. I would consider submitting a paper to this journal again.

Motivation:
Some reviewers made pertinent and helpful comments, but others did not and made comments which suggested they failed to understand the message of the paper. A better choice of reviewers would have helped. However, the editor proved to be very competent in dealing with the reviews and the changes made to the manuscript.

Motivation:
Too long review process; brief anonymous reviews only sent after repeated requests by author (since no clear information on review process duration was given after initial notice of paper being sent out for review).
