Ecology Letters published this article: "David versus Goliath: Early career researchers in an unethical publishing system" (doi.org/10.1111/ele.14…). However, what OBJECTIVE METRIC should be used to classify a peer-reviewed journal as ethical or "unethical"?

@elonmusk The dinosaurs went extinct because of the Chicxulub asteroid impact 66 MYA. No mammals "stole" anything from dinosaurs.

We live on stolen land. By “we”, I mean us mammals. We stole it from the dinosaurs 🦖 😢

@lhliow Science is about evidence, so what reproducible metric do you suggest using to classify a journal as ethical or "unethical"?  Exactly what should be quantified and what should be the good-to-bad threshold?
