  1. I'm not familiar with the system of peer reviewed articles, but I want to put an hypothesis, because I can think of a possible explanation, from another industry that I'm more familiar with, In 2008 The banking system collapsed because of the subprime, there was a lot of reasons why we end up in that situation but one of them was that the companies that were supposed to be independent, and who's jobs were to properly rate, and evaluate the subprime financial products, (CDS, CDO, etc) were actually not doing their jobs properly because if they were to not rate the products according to the clients needs, then the clients would simply knock on the concurrent's door. Therefore I wonder if this is a similar situation, where in order to maintain their grandiose/reputation, those journals are becoming less and less careful about what they allow and publish, in order to be "the one" publishing ground breaking work.
