'Most journals don't have the proper expertise to review the paper we wrote' - that's not how proper peer review works. Someone not knowing something does not mean they can necessarily decline your paper. But what they can point out is holes in the basic scientific understanding, and in the demonstration of the scientific method. I could start a paper in the workings of a magical spaghetti monster. But the only people who have 'proper' knowledge of the magical spaghetti monster (that agrees with what I think) don't work for Nature, or New England Journal of Medicine, but Spaghetti Monster proceedings, and so I will submit it to spaghetti monster proceedings.

JoAaCM has an impact factor of 1.464, and that says a lot (for reference, New England is 34, Nature Medicine is 30)
