Oh wow! Thanks for this.

"Finland had downgraded its classification of 187 MDPI journals because of evidence of "minimum time spend for editorial work and quality assessment", at the same time that German universities had secured a national publishing agreement with MDPI"

Why did German universities deal with #MDPI ? I thought its obviously #predatory and not be given anything
