This journal was terrible in terms of response time. I had an article under review for 5 months with no contact whatsoever. I did check in with the managing editor twice during the review process and the responses were vague despite the unusually long review time. I finally received a rejection after such a long time. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed after waiting so long.


6 month review time, article was rejected although several reviewers wrote in their comments that they suggested a R&R decision. Reviews were very helpful and detailed.

Took them 4 months to review and reject my paper. Although the reviewers had positive comments, the editors rejected the paper probably because they did not like the topic. (March, 2010).
