Hello, Hammann S I'm writing to inquire about your response to our most recent email. We acknowledge that several factors may have contributed to the delay, including: 1. A lot of work needs to be done. 2. The manuscript is not yet prepared for submission. 3. Your current research may not be a good fit for the journal. 4. Our message might not have reached you at the appropriate moment. 5. The choice to remain silent. Until you tell us what's happening, we can't be certain.

WE JUST CAN'T BE CERTAIN #AcademicSpam

#AcademicSpam battle: Hints to include in your autodelete list:

1. subject contains an icon
2. Content starts with "Hi" or "Dear" and is addressed to your full name (incl middle initial) as it appears in publications
3. subject contains your name (sometimes backwards)

Be careful out there.

It's so nice to contact you through this email.

We are in shortfall of one article for Successful Release of upcoming issue by end of February. Is it possible for you to support us with your 2-page opinion/Minireview for this issue?

Dear Dr. Simon Hammann, I would like to invite you to submit an article to Chemistry & Biodiversity. The Editorial Teams of our journals are constantly monitoring the latest development in the scientific community with the aim of offering the most up to date content. We currently looking at expanding our portfolio towards selected areas of growing interest to our readership, such as Chemical Toxicology. Having followed your recent research, we believe that a contribution from you and your collaborators on the latest developments in your field would be of great interest for our readership and would complement the top-level science already published in Chemistry and Biodiversity. If you agree to contribute, we would ideally receive your submission to Chemistry and Biodiversity by September 30 2026, but if this date does not suit you we can surely adapt it.

In a slightly confusing development: I now receive invites from more reputable journals - this is a Wiley journal. Other than the more generous deadline and slightly more polished language this very much looks like the usual #AcademicSpam.
Is this the continued MDPIsation of academic publishing?
