In health economics we often disregard impact of illness on lost productivity for cost-effectiveness studies, favouring a health systems perspective. This is looking increasingly myopic in the face of past and future pandemics where economic considerations are being baked into policy decisions. 1/3

I'm doing a systematic review. Is it valid to exclude articles solely because they are published in MDPI/Hindawi/other predatory journals? On the one hand, you can't trust their process. On the other, it's a slippery slope, and that argument could be applied to most peer review. #academicsky
