So, 2 weeks is too little for a proper review and publishing process, but a paper every 37 hrs is a top-notch practice for #academia and universities? Because I fail to see the kind of criticism of Luque and his kind that emerged lately with the #MDPI... #publishorperish #publishing #predatorypublisher

#PredatoryReport strikes again and includes all #frontiersIn journals on their "list." With the same set of clear criteria, robust evidence, and assurance of no conflict of interest as they did with #MDPI... #OpenAccess #academia #predatorypublisher

[Reading] (courte) chronique d'Yves Gingras qui m'avait échappée : « Les chercheurs au service des grands éditeurs ? », Pour la Science, 2023, vol. 543 – janv, nᵒ 1, pp. 22‑22, doi:10.3917/pls.543.0022

Block #MDPI? Great, people will go to #Frontiers. Block them, and a new mass publisher will emerge within months. You're not fighting the cause; you're fighting the symptom. #publishorperish #OpenAccess #academia #predatory #predatorypublisher

Time and again, I see arguments that #MDPI is #predatory because it publishes hundreds of thousands of papers. I urge anyone who claims this to look at how many papers researchers publish annually in their field. Then multiply that by the number of researchers. MDPI's volume is not the cause; it is a symptom of a #publishorperish culture #openaccess #academia #predatorypublisher

MDPI's IJMS just sent me an email just to say they published a paper and I could read it if I wanted to. Heck, if I wanted to submit an article, they'd be pleased as punch.

I wasn't a reviewer. I had no involvement at any point. This is just spam. Specifically, it's "rent-seeking" behaviour from a publishing group nearly everyone deems "predatory."
