When reading researches in top-tier journals, sometimes I read simple NOT creative ideas. Therefore, I can conclude that not only the creative ideas are attractive for editors. I think the process of publishing may be by luck or the authors may be famous in the field. From your opinion, what are the criteria of top-tier journals for selecting researches?.
Thanks
Excellent issue indeed dear Dr. Zakaria Elkhwesky. As to me, It primarily depends on novility, global applicability, smart and presise presentation of findings worth of greater value.
Based on Papers that are relevant to the scope of the journal, are innovative, significantly advance the field, are well written, and adhere to the instructions to authors have a higher likelihood of being accepted.

Background: Trying to publish a paper in a top-rated peer-reviewed journal can be a difficult and frustrating experience for authors. It is important that authors understand the general review process before submitting manuscripts for publication.
Objectives: Editors-in-chief and associate editors from top-tier journals such as Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP), Toxicological Sciences, Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, and Chemical Research in Toxicology were asked to provide guidance concerning the writing and submission of papers to their journals.
Discussion: The editors reviewed the manuscript review process for their journals, elaborated on the evaluation criteria for reviewing papers, and provided advice for future authors in preparing their papers.
Conclusions: The manuscript submission process was similar for all of the journals with the exception of EHP that includes an initial screening in which about two-thirds of submitted papers are returned to the authors without review. The evaluation criteria used by the journals were also similar. Papers that are relevant to the scope of the journal, are innovative, significantly advance the field, are well written, and adhere to the instructions to authors have a higher likelihood of being accepted. The editors advised potential authors to ensure that the topic of the paper is within the scope of the journal, represents an important problem, is carefully prepared according to the instructions to authors, and to seek editorial assistance if English is not the primary language of the authors.
The quality and novelty of publications published by the journal and how long they have withstood the test of time.
Adhering to authors writing and publication guidelines is crucial and key! Submissions that meet the journal’s criteria will be accepted regardless of whom the author(s) is(are).
innovation and creativity.
Compliance with the requirements of the journal.
The quality and novelty of the works.
Honestly speaking, the quality of your article determines the acceptability for getting published. No editor will rely on popularity or familiarity of an author to get his or her work published. Most papers are usually per-reviewed blindly, so where does the personality set in? As an editor, I go after the quality of the manuscript. Thank you.
