guess I might be after my imminent retirement). But having been involved in
editorial boards and conference programme committees etc, I have never been
aware of any restriction on unaffiliated researchers publishing research. I
would say though that it is fairly unusual to receive papers from unaffiliated
authors and I think the couple of times I have encountered the situation the
papers were very poor quality. But they were reviewed in the normal way and
rejected on their merits. But had the papers been of better quality, then I
presume they would have been accepted. On what basis could a reviewer or editor
legitimately discriminate against unaffiliated authors?<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>

<br>
I wonder if there are unaffiliated researchers in this mailing list. I know
that publishing without affiliation is a bit hard, so I would like to talk with
them and learn from their experience.<br>
