The discriminatory policies at @MDPIOpenAccess are sickening. I will not be offering my peer review services or submitting my manuscripts to them. I& #39;m done. And this is why @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter 1/7

I previously pointed out that @MDPIOpenAccess does not recruit Black researchers in their Editorial Boards 2/7 https://twitter.com/ESanganyado/status/1277052815857213440">https://twitter.com/ESanganya...

4 months ago I submitted an expression of interest to join the Editorial Board of @Pollutants_MDPI and I got a response today https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏽" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (mittlerer Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏽" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (mittlerer Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏽" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (mittlerer Hautton)"> 3/7

@MDPIOpenAccess uses irresponsible metrics for recruiting EBMs as well as offering publication privileges as exposed by @FSM_Fail https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏽" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (mittlerer Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏽" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (mittlerer Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏽" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (mittlerer Hautton)"> 4/7 https://twitter.com/FSM_Fail/status/1272381910166036481">https://twitter.com/FSM_Fail/...

@MDPIOpenAccess Special Issue and EBM recruitment policies are in sharp contrast to the claims they made in their recent diversity and inclusion statement 5/7

Dear @sennutricion @MemSocAus @CIBWorld_NL @EUREC_Info @ANZMBS and all other societies affiliated with @MDPIOpenAccess are you in support of the discriminatory policies of MDPI? 6/7

To my fellow early career researchers and researchers from the Global South, you need to start thinking twice before submitting your manuscripts or volunteering you services to @MDPIOpenAccess they don& #39;t recognize you. We are nothing to them 7/7
