I see that the general opinion about MDPI is that is a substandard and questionable publisher to avoid. Again, my (only one) experience with MDPI was positive. But I begin to regret to publish there and, after the research of Jeffrey and the comments here, I will avoid to publish in MDPI hereafter. It would be terrible that a colleague think that my data or my research, obtained after a hard work, is questionable because it was published in a MDPI journal. Thanks to Jeffrey for his work. As someone said before, the real help for us as authors is to expose the apparently *serious* open access publishers, the real threat to authors, specially to those, as is my own case, who believe in the open access movement.
