Latest review

Outcome: Rejected (im.).

Motivation:
The paper was desk-rejected very quickly (within one day). The editor stated that there is no contribution and that it is out of scope (not true as related papers are published all the time in the journal). Afterward, the paper was easily accepted in another top journal, so its quality and contribution were not an issue. Gatekeeping at its finest.
