Some weeks ago I accepted a review request from a prestige journal (in a small field). I found the abstract interesting, but had hesitations due to poor experience with editorial process as an author with this journal, and since it was an El$evier journal (which I try to avoid doing free work for).
Now the deadline review is approaching, and the study was less interesting than assumed, has no data available, poor transparency, typos that should have been weeded out in the review process, and I'm regretting my decision. I will fortify my review policy for the future!
