Thank you. In any case, Finnish research will benefit and everyone involved is to be applauded for taking this important step. Hopefully other countries will follow.

Why keep 16 MPDI and 22 Frontiers journals at level 1? If the problem is the publisher rather than journal-by-journal then that decision doesn't make sense. Did any of the members of the committee making the decision publish in those remaining journals by any chance...

We don't need to use MDPI, Frontiers or other paper mills for that. There are lots of journals that publish negative results AND have a real peer review process, such as PloS ONE, Scientific Reports, Life Science Alliance, iScience etc.

Impossible😂 But why the hell submitting there??? Publishing in MDPI may be the best way to kill a PhD students career before it even started:

It's because every MDPI journal has to reject one manuscript, one time, so they can say they have a legitimate peer review process. Unfortunately you drew the short straw this time, but on the plus side the chances of it happening to you again are practically zero so just try another MDPI journal! 😉

Thank you for sharing. I have read many similar stories from people on Twitter/X in the past, so your experience is not unique
