Which do you find the most demotivating?

funding, publish or perish, or unrealistic expectations?

@RetractionWatch And they should allow the retracted papers to be submitted again for a fee. Which can then be retracted again for a fee. Infinite money. @MDPIOpenAccess ? Should add this to our Game.

[Tapped Mango @TappedMango]

@RetractionWatch This is sad, but doesn't surprise us. To any MDPI fans reading this message, you can learn to optimize your neferiousness by playing our game: Publish or Perish (see our channel). To everyone else, we are open to feature requests.

I'm more shocked (shockeder?) that they didn't know of this than that it actually happened https://t.co/x7xENcfvfG
