Motivation:
I have published several articles in Hindawi publishing. Due to my good previous experience with Hindawi publication, I sent all four of my manuscripts to journals related to Hindawi, and suspiciously the process was the same for all my manuscripts. But, recently, my country has become a low-income country, and a full waiver is automatically applied. Since then, I have noticed a difference in their manuscript handling. For example, I have submitted my manuscript, and they seemed to fail to find an academic editor for the manuscript. Then around 3 months after submission, an email is sent to me, and ask whether I want to continue the process or not as they claim that they have failed to find any academic editor to oversee my manuscript. They find an academic editor as soon as I reply yes. After a week or so, the academic editor rejects the manuscript due to technical reason, which is not consistent with the quality of the journal. I think it is only due to the full waiver policy.
