Comment on Hindawi’s Scientific World Journal Loses its Impact Factor by Mai Hassan

I think before suggesting to add Hindawi to the list of Predatory Publishing we should specify what it believes constitutes acceptable and unacceptable behaviour by publishers.
Spamming in this case for sure is not acceptable, and I think this point has been delivered to Hindawi’s staff after
“The OA Interviews with Dr. Ahmed Hindawi”

and now I think Hindawi’s promotional messages don’t deserve to be singled out for stigmatisation.
