        <description><![CDATA[MDPI journal of clinical medicine said that my reviewer report is not good. it seems we are not allowed to reject papers for MDPI. we are only allowed to accept papers. its possible?  ''Dear Dr. Uludag,<br /><br /> We are writing to inform you that the review report you provided for<br /> jcm-4140317 has been removed from the review process. Unfortunately, we<br /> decided that your report did not contain sufficient detail to constructively<br /> contribute to the peer review process, and thus would not assist the authors in revising their manuscript or the Academic Editors in their decision to continue processing it.''<br /><br /> For future reference, the following webpage contains some general guidelines<br /> regarding the preparation of review reports:<br /> https://www.mdpi.com/reviewers#_bookmark11<br /><br /> We would like to thank you for your interest in reviewing for JCM. We hope<br /> that we will be able to call on you to assist with JCM’s review process in<br /> the future.<br /><br /> Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.<br /><br /> Kind regards,<br /> Ms. Rinrada Klankajorn<br /> Assistant Editor<br /><br /> MDPI Thailand Office<br /> 33 4 Rama IX Rd, The Ninth Towers Grand<br /> Rama 9, Khwaeng Huai Khwang, Huai Khwang,<br /> 10310 Bangkok, Thailand<br /> Tel. +662 005 2299<br /><br /> www.mdpi.com<br /> Data Protection Notes<br /><br /> Disclaimer: The information and files contained in this message are<br /> confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to<br /> whom they are addressed.

        <description><![CDATA[the journal is quite expensive to publish and provide rude reviewer comments.<br /> I also think they publish low-quality papers with unusual titles such as “weighin in” （not explaining the paper）.  <br /> I think its not predatory but almost predatory journal. <br /> I suggest people not to publish in this journal. also，they review very slowly and waste huge time forcing you to format your paper according to their style.]]>

        <description><![CDATA[Paraphrased: Arthur stated that the upcoming journal appears intriguing but could be predatory based on several complaints. The DOIs from 2024 are nonfunctional, and accessing previous papers is impossible. Ownership of the website is ambiguous, with two domains associated with the journal. The journal sends unsolicited emails to solicit publications, indicating a need for caution.<br />  Peer review is either minimal or absent.<br /> Initially, the publication fee is high, but they may lower it later.<br />  While it appears in the Web of Science, the value of publishing there is uncertain.<br /><br /> geneticsmr.com/<br /> geneticsmr.org]]>
