Motivation:
Review procedure was fairly straightforward, with one expert review and detailed comments by the special issue editor. However, the time spent waiting from acceptance to final publication was ridiculously long. This was in part because of the special issue organisation (some authors were incredibly slow in revising yet too important to boot out), but also because STUF doesn't have an online-first publication strategy, so finished issues senselessly wait in a print queue for over a year.
