Answer:

There are multiple reasons for manuscript rejections. However, since you have shared the precise reason for the rejection, you must focus on that particular point!

Firstly, it's a rejection from the Editor's desk, so you should perform a thorough quality check whether the content complies with the aim and scope of the journal.

Secondly, check for the journal submission guidelines by visiting their website. Because these two are the most common research writing mistakes because of which the manuscript gets rejected.

At last, you can perform plagiarism and grammar checks of the manuscript using dedicated tools.

Pro-Tip: It's better to submit the updated manuscript to another journal to increase the chances of approval
