  ·  Plausibility: 4 / 5  (desk reject)
Our manuscript was desk-rejected because the editor felt it dealt with something too specific for the audience of PM. I've seen many other arguably more "specific" manuscripts successfully published in PM, but I am still not sour about the editor's decision simply because two wrongs do not make one right. Our manuscript was, in fact, fairly specific, and I am thus not really disappointed. I only wish the same rationale would be applied to other submissions made to this excellent journal.
