  • A recent author provided testimonial in support of our project. They wrote: “The amount of good quality feedback I got was more than I've ever experienced. In previous papers I often felt I needed to appease the reviewers, but that only a small portion of their feedback was actually useful. In our case, I feel over 95% of the feedback was spot on. Thank you for this opportunity! ”
