As per my opinion and other technical observations, the scientific publications become biased. Only privileged university/institution and such flagship affiliation gets priority regardless the contents therein. They get acceptance and get published within couple of weeks.
On contrary, the amateur researchers get rejected after two or more months, eventually they become demotivated towards the further publications. As they can easily compare the published archive articles with the rejected ones.
Moreover, the reply of rejection sometimes is very harsh and do not meet the science ethics. In case of amateur researcher it is really alarming in further career.
Expecting your kind opinion in this regard.

By no means you can consider them as good journals. They must not be having any review system.
Those who give harsh reply are really bad editors. In good journals even if the MS is not found suitable by the editors, they return with some comments and suggestions for improvement.
I agree with you.
Unfortunately, this has become common not only in small publishing houses, but also in a world-renowned publishing houses.
Dear Aniruddha Sarker ,
I understand your concerns. It could be frustrating at times.
But just like every other profession, those that have already established a reputation often find it easier to forge ahead.
Even in book writing (literature) those that have already written 'best sellers' find it easier to publish other new books.
New authors often find it hard to publish.
The advice for we upcoming researchers is to never give up and also find mentors that are well published and ask them for guidance.
Best regards,
Bala
So is my esteemed colleague in my country Mexico is worse the council of science and technology monopolizes resources and who is not with them does not receive a budget, so it is also with magazines they decide which magazines are valid, or not, the reality is that I personally send my articles to those who want to publish for free, the impact is what values that article or research is of importance to the scientific community, that agrees with what I was taught in a master's course in science methodology , and that is measured with bibliographic citations, no matter where you publish, what matters is the impact of your publication.
