Entropy is a monthly peer-reviewed open access scientific journal covering research on all aspects of entropy and information theory. It was established in 1999 and is published by MDPI. The journal regularly publishes special issues compiled by guest editors.[1] The editor-in-chief is Kevin H. Knuth (University at Albany, SUNY).
Abstracting and indexing
The journal is abstracted and indexed in:
- Chemical Abstracts Service
- Current Contents/Physical, Chemical & Earth Sciences
- Inspec
- MathSciNet
- Science Citation Index Expanded
- Scopus
- Zentralblatt MATH
According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2017 impact factor of 2.305.[2]
Papers on glyphosate
In 2013, Entropy published a review paper saying glyphosate may be the most important factor in the development of obesity, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer, and infertility.[3] The paper does not contain any primary research results.[3] It was criticized as pseudo-science by the science magazine Discover[4] and Jeffrey Beall said "Will MDPI publish anything for money?".[5] In response to the controversy, the editors of Entropy added an "Expression of Concern" to the article's frontmatter.[3] In 2017 researchers Robin Mesnage and Michael N. Antoniou[6], both of whom are working to limit the use of glyphosate,[7] said that "although evidence exists that glyphosate-based herbicides are toxic below regulatory set safety limits, the arguments of Samsel and Seneff largely serve to distract rather than to give a rational direction."
