Eight weeks for a two reviewer rejection. Both reviews were decent.

2 and a half months. rejection. three long (>1 page) reviews with thoughtful comments.

2 months and a half. rejection. one of the reviews was very helpful and could be categorized as "R&R". the other two reviewers didn't read my paper carefully
4 months - rejection. One review with very usuful comments.

The first review took 5 months, but all the reviewers read the paper and gave helpful feedback. Still waiting for the review of the revision, after almost 3 more months. Have completed two reviews for them within these 3 months, since they ask you to complete reviews of revisions within 3 weeks.

Received a polite rejection with three *very* detailed reviews in three months flat.

Three months for rejection.

4 months for a 3-reviewer rejection.

2 1/2 months for a reject and resubmit. The reviewer feedback varied in its usefulness.

4 months for 1st review, w acceptance 2 weeks after the resubmission - it wasn't sent out for a 2nd set of reviews.

Three months for rejection. Three very good reviews.

Got an R&R after 3 months with three very positive reviews. The editors sent my revision back to 1 of the old reviewers and 2 new reviewers. One didn't understand the method I used and the other reviewer didn't think the paper was theoretically compelling enough for ASR. Based on these two new reviews, the editors rejected the paper.

6 months for a 2-reviewer rejection. The editor emailed me after 4 months saying s/he was waiting on a third review before making a decision. I assume the third review never came. 1 review was helpful, the other was not.

4.5 months for 1st review w R&R, 4 months for resubmission - unfortunately the resubmission was rejected. Reviews were detailed and of good quality.

The pattern from my submissions and submissions that I have reviewed seems to suggest that ~4 months is the norm -
unless there is a late reviewer, in which case they delay the process for a month or so at most -
or unless all the reviews happen to come in early (on time). Does this seem about right?

1 month for them to suggest submitting my article somewhere where more general implications are not required.

5 months for 1st round of reviews, received an R and R that was extremely encouraging/sounded closer to a conditional accept, revised manuscript was rejected based on the new reviewer's review. Objections implicitly related to the nature of the data (Qualitative). Big disappointment.
