The author of this article literally published in a predatory journal so why pay any attention to their advice? Their proposal is to have institutions "support" students by training them to publish in THEIR predatory journal and not the competition. Of course, this "training" would come at the expense of the students, and of course what modern education needs is more bloat.

This is like getting advice from an MLM on how to avoid calling into MLM scams. Advice from a cult leader on how to avoid cults.
