'The report presents Hindawi as a victim of an “academic culture of ‘publish or perish’, which has incentivized unethical behaviour”. What it omits is the influence of the commercial publisher culture of greed, which aims for massive growth in the number of published papers, with associated growth in profits.'Excellent point from @deevybee https://retractionwatch.com/2023/12/19/hindawi-reveals-process-for-retracting-more-than-8000-paper-mill-articles/
