This perspective highlights a growing and concerning trend within the scientific publishing community: the increasing incidence of manuscript rejections within twenty-four hours of submission without peer review, followed by offers of transfer to a sister journal with a high article processing fee. Recommendations to address such issues, including increased transparency in the manuscript review process, the establishment of more robust editorial guidelines, and the promotion of equitable publishing opportunities regardless of financial capability have also been proposed.
稿件在提交后二十四小时内未经同行评审就被拒稿的情况越来越多，随后会被提议转投到收取高额论文处理费的姊妹期刊。针对此类问题也提出了一些建议，包括提高稿件评审过程的透明度、制定更完善的编辑指南，以及推广不论经济能力的公平出版机会。
