Andrew Tate Faces New Allegations of Rape and Coercive Control

A network seemingly run by Pakistani and Indonesian nationals from a mansion in Birmingham, UK, has begun acquiring long-established Spanish scientific journals, leading to concerns over their quality. According to Spanish researchers Alberto Martín and Emilio Delgado, the Oxbridge Publishing House has adopted a predatory model, charging exorbitant fees for publication while increasing the volume of low-quality studies published.
The two academics likened this phenomenon to the classic film "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." The mansion, situated in Solihull, serves as the headquarters for a business that has purchased 36 scholarly journals since 2020, including respected titles such as Cuadernos de Economía and Comunicar.
Previously, journals were prominent in Spanish research, with publication fees ranging from about $312 to $1,300. However, costs have surged dramatically, with some journals now charging upwards of $6,000 per study. Critics, including bibliometrics expert Félix de Moya, highlight concerns that these practices undermine the integrity and quality of academic publishing, while emphasizing the urgent need for reform within the system to prioritize genuine academic merit over profit.
