Jop de Vrieze, Science; Open-access journal editors resign after alleged pressure to publish mediocre papers
"The conflict is salient because this week 11 European national funding
organizations announced that beginning in 2020, research they fund should only be published in open-access journals,
which make articles publicly available, as opposed to traditional
journals, which sometimes block access to nonsubscribers. To maintain a
level of quality, scientists will be directed to publish only in
journals in the Directory of Open Access Journals."

A Scholarly Sting Operation Shines a Light on ‘Predatory’ Journals; New York Times, March 22, 2017
Gina Kolata, New York Times;
