[GLIMS] ASTER 20th anniversary special issue of Remote Sensing

[Siri Jodha Khalsa]

Due to the controversy I too was leery of having anything to do with 
MDPI journals, and have declined several request to serve as a reviewer. 
But then at IGARSS this year MDPI-RS had a booth and I spoke with some 
members of the GRSS AdCom who said that in fact RS is becoming respected 
and widely submitted to journal in the RS community. I would have not 
hesitancy in submitting now.
