After
clicking on his link, surprisingly, I found out that eCampusNews made a
correction: Correction
2/21/2014: An earlier version of this article stated that Nobel
Prize-winning geneticist Mario Capecchi was not aware he was listed as a
member of the editorial board for the MDPI journal Biomolecules. At the
time, Capecchi’s assistant, Lorene Stitzer, told eCampus News that “he
was not aware of the fact that he had been included on the listing.”
After being contacted by MDPI, Stitzer now says Capecchi is in fact aware
of being an honorary board member. eCampus News regrets the error. Therefore,
I posted a comment to ask if Jeff has further evidence to back up the
claim that Nobel Laureates have been put on MDPI's list without consent,
since the only "evidence" he had was from Capecchi, which turned
out to be factually inaccurate. As a response by Mr Beall, this comment
was removed along with my other comments. Joel
