Over 1100 experts decide to boycott medical journal Nutrients, its publisher MDPI
More than 1100 experts have decided to boycott the medical journal Nutrients and its publisher MDPI, according to a letter from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). The boycott comes in light of the journal continuing to publish research and studies where animal experiments are used, even human alternatives are available.
“As a community of scientists and health care professionals, we have lost confidence in Nutrients and MDPI. We will not publish in Nutrients or other MDPI journals nor serve as reviewers until Nutrients implements a policy of publishing only studies using human participants or human data for nutrition research,” notes the letter sent to the editors of the journal, according to a press release.
