Corrosion and Materials Degradation Journal – Bias and Credibililty

Corrosion and Materials Degradation Journal - Pro Science - Credible and Reliable

Factual Reporting: Mostly Factual - Mostly Credible and Reliable

PRO-SCIENCE

These sources consist of legitimate science or are evidence-based through credible scientific sourcing.  Legitimate science follows the scientific method, is unbiased, and does not use emotional words.  These sources also respect the consensus of experts in the given scientific field and strive to publish peer-reviewed science. Some sources in this category may have a slight political bias but adhere to scientific principles. See all Pro-Science sources.

  • Overall, we rate the Corrosion and Materials Degradation Journal and Mostly Factual for reporting due to being published by a company that has failed fact checks in other journals.

Funded by / Ownership

The publisher of the Corrosion and Materials Degradation Journal is MDPI AG, which Shu-Kun Lin owns. Here is the list of the Management Team. According to “MDPI Open Access Information and Policy.” MDPI articles and all its journals are open access where authors pay a one-time Article Processing Charge (APC) to cover the costs of peer review administration and management; here is “General Information on MDPI’s Article Processing Charges (APC).”

Analysis / Bias

Corrosion and Materials Degradation Journal covers the study of corrosion and environment-assisted degradation. Studies are published via open access, such as this: Mechanistic Analysis of Anodic Oxidation of Gold in KOH (0.1 M) Solution Using the Point Defect Model. Like all others reviewed, this study is Pro-Science, well-researched and low-biased. 

While the Corrosion and Materials Degradation Journal has not failed a fact-check, its publisher has faced criticism as an open-access predatory journal. Read our full review on MDPI.
