Can the position, grade, number of publication of scientists that authored a paper influence the visibility (acceptance, read, recommendation, citation,....) of an article during the submitting process and after publication?
Reputable authors always have a huge following, so its very likely that their inclusion on a publication would gain it more visibility

Dear Dr. Yannick Stephane Fongang Fotsing ,
I think the publications of well-known scholars always gather more attention.
Best,
Dr. Vardan Atoyan
There is no way to influence the author's prestige for acceptance in case of double blind peer review process. However, we cannot exactly say that it won't influence the editor's decision too. It is obvious that the author's prestige influence the number of views, reads, recommendations and perhaps citations too, but all these come after publishing the article. In my opinion, usually, the visibility of an article is influenced by factors like indexing, abstracting, mode of publishing, etc. rather than author's qualities.
Dear Manjula, thank you so much for your remarkable answer. The second sentence is exactly what I'm thinking about. When you submit article the editor can see authors names and can be influence. After the submitted paper have blinded for review process that at that time nobody can identify authored before publication process came to the end. I really appreciate your participation.
Thanks Dear Dr. Vardan Atoyan, you are. Can the submitted article of a well reputed scientist influence editor of a Journal? Sure that before blinding, the editor know who (cover letter) want to publish.
