Motivation:
The editor felt that the work was not suitable for publication because it did not fit the journal's scope. The authors do not agree in general with the editor's decision and think that the topics perfectly matched the journal's guidelines. Works on similar topics, and published in the same journal in the past, were even previously identified by the authors which partially guided the decision for choosing this journal. The editor admitted he was not able to understand the topic of the paper which the authors found it also a surprising statement. We concluded that we just had 'bad luck' with the assigned editor. The communication at least was fast which is always a positive point.
