„A wise man once gave the following advice: spend the most time refereeing the best papers. If a paper is awful, please don't spend a great deal of time on it. If a paper is good, please do spend a little time to make it better.”

Taken from JFP Advice for Referees

–

Being a reviewer in a certain good journal, I saw the opinion of another reviewer:

„This paper has not reached to the acceptable level for publication in this top journal and lacks originality and novelty. The technical depth of this paper is superficial. No new techniques are presented in this paper. Authors need to bring novelty and originality to their work. Thus, the paper in the current form is not suitable for publication in this top journal. I reject this paper.”

I made over one hundred scientific reviews, most of them for scientific journals having impact factor(s). The journals for which I had the honor and pleasure to make reviews are listed below (the list may not be complete):

AGH UST Reviewers Publons' ranking list

I once saw the following review in some respectable magazine. Fits perfectly with everything (probably it is a kind of template). 8-)

This paper has not reached to the acceptable level for publication in this top journal and lacks originality and novelty. The technical depth of this paper is superficial. No new techniques are presented in this paper. Authors need to bring novelty and originality to their work. Thus, the paper in the current form is not suitable for publication in this top journal. I reject this paper.
