Paul, as a rule I avoid submitting to journals with "Review" in the title, but SCR is the exception.

Did you know that there was an Edwardian publication called 'The Review of Reviews'?

The Review Review would be better.
And their retrospective issue, of course: The Review Review Rear View

How about The Review to End All Reviews--published by Amazon, of course.

Oh, titles can go wrong in so many ways. For example, can you imagine a Jewish poetry review that appears only one week a year calling itself "Hanukkah Blitz"?

Default Forty-Ounce-Bachelors

I've naught a clue on this. A title with serious gravitas at last : >>>     [ fortyouncebachelors ]     

Might probably hate it. I'm a 39 oz bachelor myself, or was prenatally, as I recall.

They promise real critiques on rejection. OK.

It's an electronic venue, which means many things. One is, I imagine, that since a website likely has much lower short-term operating expenses than the costs of producing a physically durable paper product, they have the grand opportunity to be less discriminating about whatever they think of as quality. You don't print what you marginally like if the nut is too high, unless there's funny money behind you somewhere.

Of course, what the reader's opinion is of quality and what the editorship might think can differ. That's what makes beauty contests so engaging.
