You can remove the "esque" from "mafia-esque" for about half of existing "scientific" journals.
Please consider studying the way the publication industry now works. Triple profit system, youngsters misled by superiors into unpaid reviewing for inexistent future professional positions, then worse when you start refusing to simply "give" your work, do reviews, preparing somebody else's powerpoint presentations for congresses, etc.
We could be longing for a science paper published on preprint servers that publishes the results of this study. You might want to publish it anonymously though. The days of open science are gone.
