Thoughts and experience on ML journals [D]

Recently I’ve been thinking about shifting from conferences to journals due to a few bad experiences with ML conferences reviewing process. The truth is I don’t really have much experience with journals, and I rarely read papers from them.

I don’t really want to submit to something like JMLR because of the extremely long waiting times, and also because my papers tend to be shorter.

From what I understand, TMLR seems like a great choice, but I’m really curious about alternatives. Do you guys have any experience or thoughts on journals like Neurocomputing, Neural Networks, Machine Learning, etc., in terms of how selective they are and overall quality?

They’re all considered Q1, but I’m not really sure what that means in the conference-oriented ML world.
