If you need a better reason why you should publish in society journals then I am stumped. Publishing with MicroSoc journals funds studentships like these and amazing opportunities for emerging talent

Are we all sure this wasn’t deliberate by Frontiers to get publicity? Any publicity is good publicity. Just look at Donald J Trump. Any publicity works just fine for him.

This would not have gotten accepted in a society journal…. Obviously. Shame on Frontiers. It’s all seemingly about the cash. Concerning that Germany has done a deal with Frontiers so all researchers in Germany can publish for free. Feels like a losing battle for societies. Don’t give up the fight!
