 astronauts to the moon close to half a century ago, we are still largely navigating blind on evidence-based decision-making in science. No one can confidently say how many active journals there are the world over. We need an exhaustive list. Secondly, I think
 journals and publishers should not be examined in a dichotomous manner; we need several criteria to assess their practice and the quality of what is being published.</span></p>
