The editorial policy of AVS Quantum Science claims that all applications should be discussed “all through the foundations of Quantum Science” and that the journal “covers recent advances in established fields or an emerging area of importance within quantum science”. Those sentences indicates without doubts that the journal is devoted not only to pure applications but also to foundations of Quantum Science. The title of my proposal explicitly indicates that my review will be devoted to foundation of quantum science. As indicated in the proposal, the review is based on my results published in J. Phys. A, J. Math. Phys., Phys. Rev. D, Finite Fields and Applications, Int. J. Mod. Phys. B and other known journals. Therefore the review is fully in the scope of AVS Quantum Science. However, my proposal has been rejected with the statement that the editors “do not think it is an appropriate fit for AVS Quantum Science” and no other explanations have been given. As follows from the above remarks, this statement fully contradicts the editorial policy of AVS Quantum Science. Scientific ethics implies that any negative statement should be substantiated, and so the statement that the editors only think something without explanation contradicts scientific ethics. This statement poses a question whether or not anybody tried to understand my proposal.
I would be grateful if the editorial decision is reconsidered.
И, как и ожидалось, в ответ получил подтверждение, что мой proposal отклоняется, и, чтобы написать такой глубокомысленный ответ, понадобилось две недели:
