Higher rejection rate confirm nothing. It doesn't mean that the journal is high grade, but im means that its reviewers and editor staff need very limited and may be specified names only. I prefer if the journal's reviewers specify the reduction in the paper quality than rejected due to minor corrections.

There will obviously be more bias in what will be published?

Does higher rejection rate improves the quality of journal? Not necessarily.

Marcel M. Lambrechts: There will obviously be more bias in what will be published? My answer to the question of dear Dr. Lambrechts is yes.

The quality of journal cannot be improved by a higher rejection rate. Otherwise the journal of highest quality is one which rejects everything (?!?).

But, due to some strange reasons, scientists try to publish in these journals and if they are lucky their article is accepted and they belont to the 'elite' who published.

The problem of bias mentioned by Marcel M. Lambrechts and Aristidis Matsoukis is huge. We should be more open minded and not too egoistic to discuss also ideas which belongs to 'suppressed science'

In the question there are many examples of suppressed science...

Why do think so ?

Not necessary - above question can be answered better when we excluded some "noises" like:

Thank You very much all for your comments. But how one can select a journal for possible publication in his/her area of research? Does more rejections of articles means all the efforts and time put in research goes in vain? Do any researcher feel inferior about their research compared to worldwide community? Because many of the institutions do not have all the ultra modern facilities/infrastructures/resources for all disciplines.

i am agree with  Dr Miqdam for his idea .
