Comment on Chinese Publisher MDPI Added to List of Questionable Publishers by Jeffrey Beall

There are so many logical fallacies in this that I don’t know where to start.
First, yes, I agree, the criteria I use are chiefly subjective. I’ve never claimed they were objective. I also mentioned in the post (did you actually read it?) that I knew some of the MDPI journals had impact factors. I don’t think you can make the argument that just because some of the major journals have occasional problems that it’s okay for MDPI to be low quality. If you are happy with MDPI, please submit all your papers there. Pay the CHF 1600 and enjoy the fact that your articles are published in one-word journals.
