Also, there are definitely papers for which the editor thinks "I'm not sure about this, but if [big name scientist] is willing to put his/her name on this paper I'll err on the side of publication". Schon scandal papers are an example, the recent LB-1 paper probably falls into this category as well. | |

That's what everyone wants to believe, but is not true in general. Most of the time it's subconscious bias, but there are even some journals that make it explicit that they're considering the author's identity, e.g. PNAS. | |
