Overall I had a good experience. The journal criteria were clearly
described; the online format made it easy to submit and the reviewer's
comments were helpful. The delay is mine.
Specifically:
a. No
b. Perhaps they decide to go elsewhere, in my case just swamped and
focusing on other articles, do plan to resubmit
c. I don't think so, usually you tailor the work somewhat to meet a
particular journals requirements
d) Yes, but since creativity and innovations are sought, examples might
be seen as prescriptions, also I look for examples in an issue or two to
see if the article I had planned to submit seems like a good fit
e) yes, that would be good
f) I think they are clear
g) that would be helpful as would special calls
h) some journals work with authors to get their work submitted rather
than a accept (with or without revisions) reject
