Often, very good original papers showing several new Highlights and Findings are submitted for publication, but the Editor-in-Chief declines them on the pretext that there is a significant number of papers submitted to the journal, and that there is a small space reserved for articles that are priority over other manuscripts.
1. Who decides on the publication priority?
2. Is there always a thorough reading of papers by the Editor-in-Chief before deciding whether or not to submit them to external Reviewers?
3. Some authors submit papers that far exceed the Journal's expectations (they thus participate in the significant increase of its Impact Factor!). But in that case, why do not recommend submitting to another journal which is "Much Better"?
Returned means that the Editor concerned is not willing to consider the MS for publication for whatsoever reason. My suggestion is to move on the submit the MS to another journal
1.I supose impact, but I am not sure if I have answered the question.
2. Maybe it will imply many kinds of revision, not just one. (and maybe a draft revision)
3.you never know until you have been told. And it might imply many people reading the paper. Your paper have been submitted. Anyone should smile
Thanks Mª Angeles Zorrilla for your comments.
My question is about the publication priority. So, it's often bad to decide to reject unfortunatly good papers, without having taken the necessary time for such a decision! Best wishes,

I hope Editor-in-Chief is the final decision-maker of the manuscript. Submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by one or two persons.
