This journal's fairness and transparency in handling manuscripts have been criticized by some scholars. There have been comments on the academic journal review website, Scirev, stating that this journal rejected submissions without providing any explanation, simply stating that they were "not suitable". There were also comments mentioning that within the peer review feedback they received, some individuals claimed that this journal no longer publishes articles using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method for data analysis. However, the journal's website has never addressed this issue, and the PLS method is used in many other top-tier journals. Even if there are concerns about the method, further explanation and decision-making should be provided instead of simply rejecting articles based on that reason.3
