Yes. Most journals send a short rejection letter to any paper related to cold fusion. They do not submit papers to peer-review. They reject them out of hand. Nature and several others do this. There are not many examples of these one-page letters. I saw some in the collected papers of Martin Fleischmann and a few in Mizuno's files. There are few examples because after 1990, no researchers I know bothered to send papers to these journals. Everyone knows their policy. Nature made this policy abundantly clear in their editorials and letters to researchers. There are some quotes and links to the Nature editorials here: http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/RothwellJhownaturer.pdf Along the same lines, the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine and others have often published attacks by Robert Park and other opponents accusing researchers of being frauds, criminals and lunatics. To my knowledge they have never allowed any researcher to publish an objection or a rebuttal. These attacks have caused great harm to people's professional and personal lives. New Scientist is the only one I can think of that has printed accusations of fraud, criminality and so on but also a few articles with quotes from Miles and others objecting to these attacks. - Jed
