    Is a journal that has an IF<1, charges 100 Euros an article, reviews and publishes within a week, and prints 80-100 totally unrelated articles a month predatory or very predatory?

        Just to clarify, low publishing costs and impact factors are not a sign of predatory publishers. This was just the one journal I noted in which those two things were really suspicious IN CONTEXT

        If the IF is <1, in a medical journal, the quality may be very poor.

        Honestly, that doesn't sound predatory anymore. I'd classify that as opportunistic omnivory!

        The two first sentences has nothing to do with being predatory. By that definition @Meta_Psy or any FAIR oa https://www.fairopenaccess.org  is predatory. We have low or no APC and typically no IF. Very disappointed at this tweet.

        Big publishers are pushing to have low APC as indicating predatory journals. This has real consequences of getting non commercial journals black listed. Please don’t spread this myth.
