The Role of Perceptions of Prejudice and Discrimination on the Adjustment?
Interesting question! I'm not sure that I have personal experience with the topic, but it's not hard to imagine that everything that is human could have some type of prejudice or could be discriminating. Some of my colleagues are almost sure that our surnames (often finalising with ''ić'') could be the reason for different (bad) treatment by some editors.
Yes dear angel Parisa, some journals definitely behind the scene have reasons that journals reject manuscripts for publication !

Rejecting by the state of " It is not in our scopes " while similar articles were published there!
In the Russian language there is a saying: "Greeted by clothes, but make adieu by the mind." (free translation - "Vstrechajut po odezhke, provozhajut po razumu"). Of course, there are nonprofessional signs that cause the article to be rejected by the editor. Despite the declared “political correctness”, often the surname, country, co-authors can cause a negative attitude of the editorial board or reviewer. (What can this Russian write?) Sometimes also taken into account affiliation to the circle of "friends", which are always published (despite of article quality). Therefore, the author just needs to be "a cut above" than the authors who are constantly publishing in this journal. Unfortunately, there is no other honest way.
I also faced the same difficulty (not within the scope of the journals).. But what can we do??? Just to waste time on these things. But still this issue must be resolved or reviewed.
There is a lot of prejudice in judging and adjustment of manuscripts. Many times I see that the message that comes out in your published article is an adulterated version of what you wanted to share with the scientific community. Reviewers sometimes have their own agenda
Bias and prejudice cannot be ruled out of human institutions
The world is full of discrimination. Ignore it and move on. If you are genius enough, you will be rewarded sooner or later.
Yes the world is full of discrimination , thank you for bringing this issue in discussion !
I had same problems with American journals, and I felt racism and prejudice in their responses, and actually the studies that were sent were being frozen for long periods which made me hesitant to communicate with them....
