I wish to immigrate and for that I need to stand out from the other applicants I assumed the easiest way would be through publications.
It was IEEE that’s one of the flagship organization in STEM

If your field is computer science or eng, publishing in one of the A ranking conferences for your field is as good as top journal publishing

I would use accepted papers as an example, I find that usually helps

Most well regarded journals in STEM require a publishing fee. That is not the case for the humanities and I believe social sciences, which are always free.

In the off chance that I get to writing a paper, I’m just going to publish it in one of the free ones and add a license to it that prevents the money grabbing ones from using it.
If noone looks at it, it’s their loss.

Problem is that would tank the citations or H score and then it would just exist for the sake of existing.

You can only win one battle.
And you have to choose what you push for.
This problem wouldn’t have existed, had enough people migrated to open journals during the internet boom.
And if reviewers are not being paid anyway, they might as well start working with someone that’s not a money sink.
Of course I can’t say much in this regard, as I have never been a reviewer (probably not even qualifying), but I’d rather be associated with an organisation that focusses on giving a better service than on wringing funds and work out of all that deal with them.

Oh I didn’t know, thanks. For some reason I assumed they were waived
