Have reviewed for CJR a significant number of times, and published in this journal twice. No automatic e-mail confirmation of receipt, and the submission platform does not allow paper writers to recommend possible reviewers nor suggest ones that may not be appropriate. Sent separate e-mail to editor, re issue, no response. After two weeks sent e-mail asking status, paper sent back with vague statement asking paper writer to conform to journal style. Inserted conflict of interest statement, sent back to journal, two weeks later paper checked platform which indicates that it is still administrative processing. Contact asst. ed. ask for explanation. Receive similar e-mail stating that paper needs to conform to journal subject and style. Write editor for explanation. Editor instructed me to find another journal.
