@ajayiyer@mastodon.social my view is that institutions should publish their own research online, with a managed forum below for comment. I know why it came about, but using journal impact factor as a surrogate for the value or importance of a publication has always been inadequate and has encouraged back channels and favoritism. Institutions have a good incentive to maintain ethical and publication standards because it affects their reputation

@ajayiyer@mastodon.social In the Lens, you can query for a topic, then use the filters to remove articles from publishers you want to avoid, as I have done here: https://www.lens.org/lens/search/scholar/list?q=field_of_study:%22Sustainability%22&p=0&n=10&s=_score&d=%2B&f=false&e=false&l=en&authorField=author&dateFilterField=publishedYear&orderBy=%2B_score&presentation=false&preview=true&stemmed=true&useAuthorId=false&publicationType.must=journal%20article&publisher.mustNot=Elsevier%20BV&publishedYear.from=2020&publishedYear.to=2026 After that, you can go to the Journal filter to see the relative prevalence of different journals that remain in your search results set.

@ajayiyer@mastodon.social Probably not exactly your field, unfortunately, but for #ecology and #evolution there is the DAFNEE database of #academia friendly journals! Maybe you could build something similar for your field? #AcademicChatter https://dafnee.isem-evolution.fr/

@ajayiyer@mastodon.social Marine or freshwater? Limnology and Oceanography (journal of Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography) does both. https://www.aslo.org/limnology-and-oceanography/ Freshwater Science (journal of Society for Freshwater Science) if just freshwater. https://www.freshwater-science.org/Journal/about-fws/

@ajayiyer@mastodon.social no specific insights for your topic, but I'd try to avoid mdpi based journals. They still act like predatory journals.
