Verified Reviews
Reviewer suggests publishing in the form of a short report.
The author's response to the reviewer's comment: Whether to publish in the form of a short report depends on the editor, not you.
The second reviewer wrote a three-page review, criticizing the previously described "very interesting" article from beginning to end, even questioning the title.
Case analysis:
In this incident, the author did not make any major mistakes, at most, they were a bit careless. In contrast, the second reviewer clearly had a narrow mindset, and the editor's decision showed a close relationship between the second reviewer and the editor, a corrupt network.
In reality, the Physical Review series of journals operate under a system where the editors and reviewers, who have relationships with each other, dominate over the weaker authors. They have the power to do whatever they want, while authors have no say. When will someone address the ethical issues of editors and reviewers with relationships?!
