Some of my colleagues publish papers with their Sensors journal, which seems to be a decent journal with more than 10 years of history (with rather modest impact factor around 2). However MDPI recently expanded and added a huge number of new journals with very uninspiring titles (e.g. Atoms, Computers, Climate, Cosmetics, Diseases, Fibers, Galaxies, Laws, Machines, Microorganisms, Proteomes, Risks, Toxics, Vaccines), which have little or no content. Looks like they are out to make more money taking advantage of a few decent titles they inherited from previous publisher.
