The handling of this manuscript by the journal was really poor. Taking four months for internal "screening" and then desk-rejecting is a scandalous waste of an author's time and resources. Moreover, the only motivation for desk rejection was that the article did not fit with the journal, with no further details given, only an attached document with a statement of the aims and scope of the journal, and since is not that obvious why it did not fit, a further motivation by the editor(s) would have been decent.
