- revolvingocelot 5y agoI think the grandparent comment meant to link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDPI#Controversies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDPI#Controversies , which is the heading under which the erroneous link falls. More to the point that MDPI is a "predatory publisher", however, is this section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDPI#Inclusion_in_Beall's_list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDPI#Inclusion_in_Beall's_list . The eagle-eyed might point out that Beall removed MDPI from his list of predatory publishers before canning the list entirely, but he singles out MDPI, suggesting that they "tried to be as annoying as possible to the university so that the officials would get so tired of the emails that they would silence me just to make them stop." I'm not sure we should be engaging so readily with this article.
