This is appalling. What's going on at scientific publishers, #Wiley, owners of #Hindawi whose special issues are riddled with fraudulent publications?
"Is Hindawi “well-positioned for revitalization?”"
Luckily @deevybee is on the case.

Stop publishing AND GUEST EDITING at #MDPI and #Hindawi journals. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

"Fast-growing open-access journals stripped of coveted impact factors:
Web of Science delists some 50 journals, including one of the world’s largest"

Sanctioning of 50 journals raises concerns over special issues in ‘mega-#journals’

👉 "When you issue a death penalty to a journal like they’ve done, you create a huge disincentive for publishers to be open and transparent where #papermills and #retractions are concerned"

Web of Science removes 50 rapidly growing journals (incl. some published by #MDPI and #Hindawi) from its list due to "increasing threats to the integrity of the scholarly record". The beginning of the end of the megajournal publishing model? https://www.science.org/content/article/fast-growing-open-access-journals-stripped-coveted-impact-factors

Guest Post – Of Special Issues and Journal Purges - The Scholarly Kitchen

This is interesting and food for thought for anyone involved in journal editing, which increasingly make use of special issues to fill their volumes.

#WebofScience has delisted 50 journals from #openaccess publishers #MDPI and #Hindawi that grew quickly thanks to special issues. As more journals get scrutiny, are these “the tip of the iceberg”? #academictwitter #sciencepublishing @ScienceInsider https://www.science.org/content/article/fast-growing-open-access-journals-stripped-coveted-impact-factors

I'm looking again at the list of 55 journals de-listed by Web of Science this month for quality reasons. Among them, as others have noted, is the #MDPI flagship mega-journal International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH), as well as an astonishing 19 #Hindawi journals.

The list, via #RetractionWatch, noting which titles were de-listed due to editorial quality: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AiUI0qf4SqXzn8OXy6HZtma3Z8sLgJIBtgAcv6D5mK0/edit?usp=sharing

#MDPI, #Frontiers & #Hindawi are blacklisted by a university. No surprise at all. These #publishers (including Plos ‘PloS One’, Scientific Report, etc) have been already #blacklisted by many universities in China 🇨🇳

Now that my #biology research has been accepted for publication in Complexity, I'm plugging the version currently on arXiv. https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.00056 There are some changes we've since made, but it's essentially the same. Cite us, if you're doing research into Canalizing Boolean Networks! ;) #hindawi #discretemath #dynamicalsystems
