I recently rejected a paper as "This is fine, and really interesting, but no one who reads this journal is going to get it".

I recently rejected a paper as "This is fine, and really interesting, but no one who reads this journal is going to get it".
- theaeolist 7y agoOne of the problems with peer review is that behind the veil of anonymity people can get away with such presumptuous nonsense. You are part of the problem.
- Fomite 7y agoAn extremely technical paper on centrality metrics in a clinical journal is not the right audience. I suggested there were ways to approach writing it for that audience, but they'd need to extensively rework the paper. The reason I know that? I've done the same thing, for the same journal.
- dagw 7y agoSurely making sure the paper gets published in the place it will have the greatest impact is good thing.
- Fomite 7y agoAlso, the review wasn’t anonymous.
