Interesting video. I hope the actor was well compensated.
Much of what he said made perfect sense> Unfortunately there is no evidence that this specific publisher meets any of the evaluation criteria the actor is spouting.
In the end, I wonder how many of the authors understand that this is pure pay to publish? For some of them there is no problem as long as their employers don’t care about the quality of the journal.
As a librarian, I want to know who the pay to publish title so we never purchase the title. I also have no reservation telling administrators and supervisors of researchers about these dodgy titles.
Perhaps a few folks given bad reviews or non-renewed contracts will be an example to the First World authors of the downside of using these journals.
