What referees expect

What they expect from a manuscript is something they have never heard of, they have never seen anything resembling or analogous to, something that is completely novel, something that is counter-intuitive yet convincing.

So, a piece of work that is publishable should not only be fabulous in the eyes of the author himself, but also be fabulous in the eyes of his vast circle of fellow workers. His work has to be interesting and thus new to himself and also to his peers.
