Caveats. The Editor-in-Chief’s affiliation (University of Ottawa) appears in secondary sources but was not confirmed on an MDPI page at the time of writing; verify on the journal editors page. The journal is indexed in ESCI, not SCIE. A full itemized indexing list could not be fetched (MDPI indexing page returned 403); only ESCI, Scopus, EBSCO, and DOAJ are confirmed.
