It
came to our attention last month that the status of MDPI as a
genuine open access publisher has recently been questioned. OASPA
takes such concerns very seriously and adherence to the membership
criteria (http://oaspa.org/membership/membership-criteria/) is essential
for all of our members and new applicants. The
OASPA Membership Committee has carried out a detailed investigation into
the issues that were raised The
review focussed on the following:
Investigations
have encompassed review of internal correspondence at MDPI, detailed
information on the handling of peer-review, decision making and reviewer
reports, plus external comments, blogs and websites. Based on our
findings we feel satisfied that MDPI continue to meet the OASPA Membership
Criteria. Original
