Have your manuscript been rejected by these so called reputable International journals because its addresses a local issue or content? I have and a couple of my friends. But have you noticed that some scientists are allowed to get away with it. For instance a dairy problem in USA will be described as such, and a methodology will be sought to solve it and results presented. However, work from other regions of the world would be turned down because it does not sound like it will be beneficial to other part of the world or of no interest to other scientists.

How many times have you read a article which may not necessarily be applicable to you lab, country or region; but still find it interesting? I think this kind of assessment of submitted manuscript is unfair and discriminatory and should stop.
