- swiley 6y agoSo a scam then.

They have a long history in publishing but as a subsidiary of an increasingly broad conglomerate (RELX) they sometimes show more interest in exploiting their reputation than maintaining it. That leads to things like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsevier#Fake_journals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsevier#Fake_journals Disclosure: I formerly worked for MDPI, a rival.
