I co-reviewed for Cells with a lab member. I thought it was for the journal Cell until I submitted it at the reviewer online form. I felt duped. We gave extensive feedback and the authors responded in detail. The editor asked us to review the revision in just 3 days?!
I explained I'm working on a grant deadline and cannot do it that quickly. She was not willing to give me the extra time I needed. She told me to quickly review their response letter...
... and said, "If you don't have enough time to check the revised version, please feel free to let me know. We will ask our academic Editor to check if your concerns are all addressed." Our joint review was the only review received for this paper.
