Hello ****,
Because of MDPI’s longstanding predatory publishing tactics, and their willingness to publish papers without regard for reviewer concerns, I refuse to participate as a reviewer, author or editor. And I try my best not to cite MDPI journals.
For example, why would anyone want to publish in a journal affiliated with MDPI after seeing this paper get published in MDPI Vaccines? (There are many other examples like it)
