The Long and Winding Road in the Cross-Process among Authors and Editors must not Fall into Pandora's Box: The Role of Reviewers

Abstract

This opinion note summarizes the role of editors with many drafts sent to a same journal being unaccepted after passing successive rounds. The Editor's previous knowledge of the reviewer's subject matter due to the lack of reviewer's specialists in mind about the topics addressed may usually fall in a self-deception problem for authors. This behaviour drives in that many authors do not publish every one of its manuscripts that, although them being good, falls in its pandora's own box of the authors.
