Interesting News in Scholarly Publishing
Scholars in Malaysia are no longer allowed to use public funds to publish articles in journals owned by MDPI, Hindawi and Frontiers

Authors are encouraged to seek reputable journals that operate ethically and don’t game the system. This reflects upon work you publish. It’s time to look for alternatives to unscrupulous journals in scholarly publishing  that meet your personal philosophy.
