Yet another shoddy #Elsevier journal sending me chemistry or chemical engineering papers to review.
(Narrator: he was not a chemical engineer, chemist, or anything chemist adjacent. In fact, his only chemistry related skill was once putting out a fire in high school chemistry )
To add insult to injury, it includes some attempt at an NDA, and sign over of
rights
"You must not share your review or information about the review process with anyone without the agreement of the editors and authors involved, irrespective of the publication outcome. If the manuscript is rejected by this journal and the
author agrees that the submission be transferred to another Elsevier journal
via the Article Transfer Service, we may securely transfer your reviewer
comments and name/contact details to the receiving journal editor for their
peer review purposes."
OK Rongjun Chen and the Chemical Engineering Journal, I'm sharing your shoddy referee selection process. Come at me bro.
