..I'm afraid this isn't a hypothetical; at loggerheads with the handling editor. But please, if @hildabast @david_colquhoun @deevybee @gorskon @dbasanta or @jamesheathers want to reassure me I'm not going crazy I'd be happy to hear it! Not naming / shaming yet..

What decent journal uses such a reviewer anyway?? Dear God....

A very high impact medical journal. A single reviewer itself is madness.

Well, I guess the Editor went for the acid test. If the Reviewer has any Academic integrity and the manuscript meets publishing standards then it should be OK. if review is biased, then you can appeal and ask the Editor that the manuscript is reviewed by an adjudicator

Appealing now. But sending it to a single reviewer with some pretty fringe opinions is something :-P

Bring on or ask your own reviewers. Feisty ones.

...been there, and the Editor (of a very nice journal based on IF) did not respond to us wanting to discuss this. So we were forced to submit elsewhere (where it was accepted)....

We know of a BMJ paper that had a chronic Lyme quack with a history of scientific misconduct as a reviewer, and a BMC paper had a conspiracy theorist as a reviewer after he published a long rant in predatory journal MDPI. Both crank reviewers wanted citations to their articles.

Surely for proper unbiased purposes there has to be more than 1 reviewer!? This is just absurd!

Now I'm curious about the quackery. Let me guess. Ozone, macrobiotics, Laetrile, fasting, vegan diet, homeopathy, i.v. vitamin C, Gerson.
