Publishers like #MDPI, #Frontiers, #Hindawi drive much of paper's growth through "special issues" with faster review times, raising concerns about quality. Mark A. Hanson & Ko propose 5 metrics to analyse this ⚡ including impact inflation, which highlights citation gaming: doi.org/10.1162/qss_...

Some countries have stopped supporting publishers such as #Frontiers, #MDPI, #Hindawi (now #Wiley). Some universities have stopped subscribing to @elsevierconnect.bsky.social - and others?
Is there a web site that is tracking this, rather than having to go back through the news & social media posts?

but wait ... if you submit today, you will receive a 50% discount for a #Hindawi journal of choice 😅

What's striking is how these articles are handled. #MDPI receives a manuscript and accepts it within ~37 days, across all journals. Math? Biology? Chemistry? Phsyics? Doesn't matter. All articles are equal in MDPI's eyes. #Frontiers and #Hindawi followed. #Hindawi is now closed down.

🧵 5/n

Have all the Hindawi journals acquired by Wiley simply been renamed to "Forward Series" e.g.

* https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/6152 (Psyche)
* https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/9403 (Advances in Agriculture)

With the new sign-ups to Bluesky, worth another share maybe.

"En exploitant la légèreté du système de publication de #Hindawi, un éditeur du groupe #Wiley, des milliers de faux articles ont été introduits dans la littérature scientifique". Article dans @lexpress.bsky.social : www.lexpress.fr/sciences-san...

Shocking analysis: More than 10,000 research papers were retracted in 2023 — a new record.
Vast majority in #Hindawi. #ethics
The number of articles being retracted rose sharply this year. Integrity experts say that this is only the tip of the iceberg.

After Malaysia and the Zhejiang University of Industry &Trade (China), a private university in #Vietnam explicitly exclude 'grey zone publishers'.

"Regarding the domestic postdoctoral scholarship program, VINIF said that [they] did not accept articles published in [...] #Hindawi and #MDPI ."
