How unique is MDPI in this round of Clarivate cuts?
It is therefore not surprising to those of us that have been following MDPI's trajectory over the last few years that MDPI's flagship journal IJERPH finally got burned: this really could have been any MDPI journal, and for all we know more delistings are coming. Clarivate has said they have only finished analyzing ~50 of the ~500 or so journals of concern that came up in their 2023 round of considerations. So MDPI could have more journals on the chopping block. It should also be said this series of cuts isn't unique to MDPI. Another publisher seriously affected by this round of delistings is Hindawi, who had ~20 journals delisted from Clarivate in early 2023. That may make MDPI's two delisted journals seem small by comparion, but to emphasize how many articles delisting IJERPH affects: IJERPH publishes more articles per year than PLOS One, and is second only to Springer Nature's mega-journal Scientific Reports in terms of total article output among biomedicine-related journals.
