The company that created this has a history of predatory practices.
" MDPI's business practices have resulted in significant growth but have attracted criticism, with controversies related to the quality of its peer reviews and accusations of subordination of academic functions to business interests.[10][11][12][13] The publisher's business model is based on establishing entirely open access broad-discipline journals, with fast processing times from submission to publication and article processing charges paid by the author.[3] MDPI was included on Jeffrey Beall's list of predatory open access publishing companies in 2014[12][14] but was removed in 2015 following a successful appeal.[13]"
This was a study of hand selected articles rather than empirical and critical thinking. It does create cause for better information on the topic.
