(27 Sep 2023) The Ministry of Universities Malaysia has just issued a notice prohibiting the country’s public universities from using funding from the state budget to pay for publishing articles in all journals belonging to the three publishers MDPI, Hindawi and Frontiers.
According to the Ministry of Universities Malaysia, this decision was made due to special concerns about academic integrity as well as about the issue of author names in articles and research works in the country.
