We were talking about this disastrous paper with @EricBillyFR and that maybe we need to write a letter. What do you think? If @florian_krammer already resigned with two other scientists from the editorial board, maybe they will understand the problem...
Difficult question tbh. Letters are most effective when editors are engaged and interested - given that 3 senior editors have resigned over this paper I'd assume that this is not the case
Exactly my thought. Maybe we need to wait and see what will happen since several editor resigned following this paper publication. Btw, the first author is well known in Germany for promoting a lot of stupid things.
My guess is that if several editors have resigned over this paper it's unlikely to be retracted due to a letter. Also, I am unsurprised lol
Just happened to check the paper an hour ago! Wow, just wow! It's really bad. Not sure what's best to do there. I mean the fact that it got published is... surprising!
If surprising means totally unacceptable and a shame for the whole scientific community, well... yes.
Pretty much what it meant yeah! This is just ridiculous and sad. MDPI reviewing is really on both ends of the spectrum.
Not sure what to do about it. PubPeer of course (your thread is already on there I assume @GidMK)... but aside from that... there ain't much we can do to force a retraction...
Yeh if the editors aren't on board Pubpeer comments and letters only add to the public pressure, but a lot of journals just ignore it until it goes away
Which I think is what's going to happen!
