I am sorry to know that your manuscript was rejected by Medical Hypotheses due to a scope mismatch. Here are a few tips that will help ensure that your manuscript fits the scope of your target journal:

  • You can send a pre-submission inquiry to the journal editor with a request to confirm if it’s suitable for the journal
