I reported this to @pnas.org in 2021 and 2022. So far I don't see that anything has happened.
Non-profit publishers sometimes seem just as disinterested in cleaning up past problems as for-profit publishers. YMMV.

A study I wrote to the journal about in May this year was just retracted: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
The review paper claimed that the majority of benefits in clinical trials could be explained by placebo effects.

Ethically questionable behavior from @SabinehazanMD.
You can buy her research papers for $15.00 on her website, even though most/all are in Open Access journals which offer *free* access. Example from @MDPIOpenAccess below.

Paper mills are far more adaptable than the institutions fighting them. Case in point: after journals started using "anti-plagiarism" software, paper mills started selling access to the same software.

Paper by former top NIH official and neuropathologist Eliezer Masliah received an Expression of Concern last week by Neuron.
While it benefits other scientists that the paper is now flagged, two things could have been done much better.
