Overall, my experience with AJP was good. My two main suggestions concern timing and the quality of reviews. Starting with the latter, one reviewer's comments were extremely helpful and thoughtful (maybe the best I have encountered). The other, however, was short and not very helpful. Regarding timing, I submitted my manuscript here because of the short timeframe for the first verdict (~3 months) mentioned here and on their website. However, it took them more than 6 months to find referees, and 9 to send a verdict. Nonetheless, I appreciated that the editor's decision letter was transparent and clear. He mentioned that, due to the high volume of submissions, AJP publishes only papers for which both reviewers strongly recommend publication.
