    Eventually, it made it to the Editor’s choice section of the journal

        I suspect they were a rival of my co-author, that’s why they didn’t want it to be published. Or they didn’t want me to be published in this journal.

        The communication is happening through journal’s editors, so they could not explicitly write that they don’t want ME to be publish papers.
