Anyone living in the US should be horrified by the administration's use of government power & threats to target people whose opinions they don't like. They may be going after comedians for now, but if you think you are safe in your academic, corporate, or journalistic job, you are fooling yourself.

Nice summary.

This new ranking by Google Scholar looks somewhat reasonable. But I have never heard of the "International Review of Economics & Finance" and the "International Journal of Finance & Economics".

Apparently, Heidelberg is covered by this (through Bayerische Staatsbibliothek):

On the other hand, universities save the subscription fee for the journal. But I guess that any university that publishes just one article per year will pay more than before. Or am I overlooking something?

So our society journal "Experimental Economics" will now be open access. But authors or, as in my case, their universities will have to pay Article Processing Charges of about $3500 for each article published. Is that a good deal for us?

Springer-Nature launched a series of "Discover" journals that closely mimic MDPI titles -- sharing *identical* journal names, and likely similar business model.

What is going on, and why researcher will - as always - fall for it?
