Smooth submission process, initial decision made within ~10 days, relatively few initial submission requirements-- recommend.

A relatively standard experience. Dislike: They require you submit 4 suggested reviewers, as well as provide a reason why you selected each reviewer. Like: Turnaround time to initial decision was less than 2 weeks.

Journal submission criteria are lengthy (~12 page document). The journal website has not updated all their links, so it was confusing finding the most recent PDF version of their author instructions.

The submission guidelines were fairly straightforward, and the submission process was pretty good! However, the review time is not very quick.

This journal provided a very quick initial decision to reject the submitted manuscript, within a few days. Overall the submission process was easy but did require some pre-submission formatting.

This was my first time submitting a manuscript and overall it was an easy experience submitting to this journal, and they provided a relatively quick initial decision.

Submission to this journal was quite straightforward and painless. They were quick on their decision to reject, which was appreciated so we were able to resubmit to another journal without needing to wait for months on a decision.

The submission process is quite straightforward, with minimal extra steps required for submission. The peer review process is also relatively quick compared to other journals.

Obviously a highly competitive journal, but was a smooth submission process, and the editorial office was responsive, timely, and helpful with a technical issue we experienced. One star shy because it would be terrific if the initial submission process had a more "format free" approach. But overall a smooth process.

Reasonable submission requirements and response time. Only major drawback is publishing fee.

Great journal to submit to. Almost no pre-submission requirements (can submit as one PDF file), and quick turnaround.

Straightforward submission and minimal reviewer comments, though approval/rejection response time can be quite delayed

Terrific journal. Reasonably straightforward submission process. Timely review. Often quite intricate statistical review with request for additional analysis.

Minimal pre-submission formatting requirements. Straightforward submission process. Relatively timely response.

Relatively straightforward submission process. Overall good experience.

Great journal to submit to. minimal pre-submission requirements. fast turn around time from submission to decision

Very fast peer review. And also quite reasonable. I want to give them 5 stars, but there was so many annoying pre-submission requirements and edits I’m giving it 4 stars

Great journal to submit to. Minimal formatting required prior to submission. Quick turn around time for initial decision.

One of the best journals to submit to. They don’t waste your time with pre submission non-sense. Very fast to reject. And relatively fast to get peer-reviews

Very very slow from submission to peer review (4mo+) but fortunately very free pre submission requests or edits
