摘要:The criteria for evaluating manuscript submissions differ between journals. Different journals have different aims and scopes. Here we describe our criteria for the initial selection of your manuscript which are sent to reviewers. Rejection of a manuscript is uncomfortable for the authors and also, for us. Unfortunately, now we have to reject approximately 50% of manuscript submissions because of our precious reviewers' time. Furthermore, to help you understand why rejection happens and why we have these criteria, we provide an overview of our situation.
