| Feb 11, 2019 at 20:20 | comment | added | Prof. Santa Claus | Hindawi has shoddy practices. Example: the text sent by my colleague for a call for special issue was plagiarised by Hindawi's staff for a different special issue. | |
| Feb 11, 2019 at 20:13 | comment | added | user68958 | Hindawi's journals were on the Beall's List too, if I remember correctly. Since then they upgraded and while are not high-class, as far as I know they are not considered predatory. | |
| Feb 11, 2019 at 20:09 | comment | added | Robert Columbia | @CaptainEmacs right, I'm talking about a light side/dark side-type switch. Simply gaining prestige over time through hard work or losing it gradually due to laziness is just life. | |
