Explicitly saying the rejection is on political grounds would be helpful. Instead the fact that research cannot be published for political reasons is interpretted as the research being poor in quality.
too perfect that she studies helminths and is herself a parasitic tapeworm on the body of accumulated knowledge that was once called Scholarship...time for some ivermectin!
I am an associate editor with two Q1 journals and the rot is much deeper. In one journal none of the editors-in-chief have a degree or any interest in what the journal is about. In addition to being lefties, they are simply ignorant. They are at stage 2 in Dunning Kruger and make sure most contributions are, too. The first two years, I desk-rejected everything. It was pure rubbish. Then I sent out stuff because I thought I might be too demanding. The reviewers, always a number cruncher and a content expert, als thought everything was rubbish. Academics publish not because they have ideas but because they need publications in top journals.

These people are activists from the Antifa school. If they can waste our time, they will see it as a small victory
