Here' an important new article about #MDPI journals. Makes me think we need a better terminology for talking about the problems with academic journals. 'Predatory' or 'non-predatory', 'black' and 'white' lists cannot capture all that is going on.

interesting piece worth reading
I find @PaoloCrosetto's perspective more balanced than the strong opinion voiced by Ángeles Oviedo-García that MDPI shouldn't be supported at all: https://t.co/J2Evyrm3kO

Please, stay and run away from MDPI journals: specific recommendations are given to researchers, educational institutions and prestigious databases advising them to review their working relations with those sorts of journals.
Interesting analysis of MDPI as a "hidden predatory publisher". Conclusion: "Researchers should neither send papers for their publication, nor cite them, nor act as reviewers for them, nor form part of their editorial committees."

Do @MDPIOpenAccess journals fit some of the characteristics of predatory journals? This paper suggests that this might be the case (particularly Sustainability). I wonder what is the view of Prof @LudoWaltman regarding the research design of this paper. h

Interesting analysis. Comparison of the citations of @MDPIOpenAccess journals with high IF review journals seems a bit odd though. The very high volume of special issues is definitely concerning. Disclaimer: I have published a perspective article with MDPI
Good in-depth analysis of the unfair practices used by mdpi. Personally, I always consider this publisher as questionable and therefore avoid publishing there. But this publisher is very popular here in Germany and also even in Ukraine. https://t.co/3PxUYy
Further evidence that MDPI journals are predatory: "The results showed that the self-citation rates increased and was very much higher than those of the leading journals in the JCR category. Besides, an increasingly high rate of citations from other MDPI-j
