Seems like scientific publications are now also participating in the “race for breaking news.”
It’s WAY harder to produce quality stories and research when you’re forced to have a quick turnaround. Kudos to the scientists and journalists who are still doing remarkable things in these conditions.

For a number of years now, I’ve had a policy that I don’t submit to nor will I review for MPDI and Frontiers. This analysis supports that decision.
It’s no reflection on the many excellent papers and studies that have been published in them, but rather on their editorial and business practices.
