MDPI owns several well-known periodicals. Because of too many publications, the quality of articles will definitely be mixed, which is also the problem of most open source journals. So obviously, among these journals, there must be some of high quality and some of relatively poor quality.
For example, from the point of view of the contributor, if you meet an editor with strict review, you will definitely feel that this journal is strictly reviewed and its quality will be high.
For example, if you meet an editor with loose peer review, you may feel that the editor has not made any substantive comments on you, because the review of papers is sloppy and the quality of journals is not high. Therefore, whether a periodical is water or not is related to the prejudice of many authors.
The quality of periodicals is closely related to personal factors. When you search for MPDI papers, you will find that the content of the papers is very exciting. You may think that open source journals are not water, and even think that the author of this paper has not contributed a better journal. This is most people's understanding of MDPI, so judging whether there is water is not a word.
On the whole, MDPI is a multi-disciplinary digital publishing house, which was founded in Switzerland by Chinese-American scientist Lin Shukun with the number 1996.
