First review round: 14.9 weeks. Overall rating: 0 (very bad).
Outcome: Rejected.
Motivation:
The sole reviewer constantly appealed that I was only quoting hearsay in the finding section, although I had quoted statistics and parliamentarian voices for triangulation purposes.
My manuscript involved discussing the situation of three countries, but he was only attacking the finding sub-section related to a specific country. In any other parts of the manuscript, he made no comments. I am wondering if his nationality or background would make him reject any critics or unfavorable comments about the government of the country which my manuscript highlight some critics to them. Potentially, there are in fact conflict of interest.
I complained to the EIC. This is entirely unfair. But they are unwilling to handle the situation.
