Invitation to Editorial Board

[edit]

I do not work on anything relating to sensors or biosensors, and I was invited to be on the Editorial Board of this journal. To me, that indicates that it is not a very good journal. They also charge authors 1800CHF ($1,820 USD) to publish articles, which is another indication of poor quality. http://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/apc

One email seems a weak argument to claim anything about the journal. This is an Open Access journal by a commercial publisher MDPI, where it is not unusual that they charge the author (APC), because they don't charge any subscription fee from the readers (or their universities/libraries). I just checked the journal further: The journal is listed on DOAJ and thereby passed their criteria, has good scores on QOAM, published articles from authors funded by well-known institutions, and an impact factor over 2. Thus, no, this looks like a reasonable journal. --Zuphilip (talk) 19:05, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
