Research has established that the quality of articles published in a journal
is raised by increasing the rejection rate.* It has also been found that
this is independent of the criteria used for rejection! (The mechanism
seems to be that the more articles are rejected, then only good quality
articles are submitted.) I have suggested that you can become the best
journal in your field by rejecting 100% of articles submitted...
