We need to engage in alternatives to the current established publishing system. Nature and MDPI are not the way to go. We don't need them and we know it. It just takes some personal courage and trying to be as congruent as possible. 3/3

The same can be said for dumping impact factor of jounals as proxy for paper quality. It needs to be done. The scientific publishing system is again in deep crisis & we need a drastic change. My opinion is that we can't just wait for the change to come from above. 2/3
