Mar 8, 2021 at 0:04 comment added JenB @AnonymousPhysicist How is Publons completely useless? I use it and recommend it to other postdocs because it helps me keep track of numbers of reviews and what journals, which is all part of the job hunting CV
Mar 7, 2021 at 21:25 comment added Anonymous Physicist @anpami I do not see how association with the completely useless Publons benefits MDPI's reputation.
Mar 7, 2021 at 18:03 comment added Snijderfrey I am not sure if there is a point in trying to understand the e-mail activities of MDPI. They send an awful amount of e-mails dealing with all kinds of things, and I cannot see any strategy behind it that makes sense.
Mar 7, 2021 at 11:05 comment added anpami I am not sure whether it really is Clarivate that tries to market its Publons via MDPI. My guess would be different. I could imagine that MDPI tries to strategically put off its image as a non-serious publisher by displaying itself as a peer review-cherishing entity. And this commitment may seem more credible when MDPI embraces Publons so ostentatiously.
