> Rooryck, who was editor of Lingua and now leads Glossa, said the most challenging aspect of starting a new open-access journal is securing funding to ensure it survives. He said Glossa is doing well and has more submissions now than Lingua did. Lingua has been described as a “zombie” journal by some scholars, but it continues to receive hundreds of submissions. Is there a list of "zombie journals" somewhere? Would be interesting to see them all laid out.

[...] So, the quick answer to the question ‘where shouldn’t I publish?’ is that [...] researchers need to engage in critical enquiry and reflection about a potential publisher. This should not come as a shock – the same advice would have been true long before the end of Beall’s List. https://ahrecs.com/research-integrity/world-hijacked-clone-zombie-publishing-shouldnt-publish https://ahrecs.com/research-integrity/world-hijacked-clone-z...
