The rights and privileges of researchers in terms publishing in peer review journals must be understood.
A researcher is expected to work hard. It is "business-as-usual".
The measurable output of the research work is the peer reviewed paper.
This provides intellectual gratification to the researcher and authoritative
material for reference and action by the academic or for-profit industries
that are sponsoring the research.
The terms of employment of the researcher will define whether the researcher
owns the rights to the intellectual property created.
The researcher is part of a privileged pool of people who can submit
their work to their peer review journals for evaluation without being asked to prove their credentials, because this is also "business-as-usual". The journals will call on suitable, qualified researchers to referee the papers to ensure their quality.
To answer your question, anybody has the right to submit a paper to a journal, and they expect to receive the privilege of a fair assessment.
