For your own sanity, please avoid purchasing NVivo. Their customer service is practically nonexistent. It’s been 2.5 weeks and they still haven’t resolved my issue. Absolutely terrible! It used to be so much better.

Academic publishing can really test your patience.
We submitted a paper to a Q1 journal five months ago. After a long silence, we followed up. The handling editor said a decision would be made by the end of May. So, we waited, again!!
