Your regular reminder that MDPI has sometimes been listed as a ‘borderline predatory’ publisher. I’m not equipped to make definitive judgements on that, but a scan of these titles does not, to me, suggest a hugely coherent and relevant body of work…

Cover Story (view full-size image): China’s response to COVID-19 is worth learning and discussing. We summarize the characteristics and process of emergency resource allocation (ERA) in public health emergencies by analyzing the situation in China. Firstly, we identified intelligent technologies that affect ERA based on China’s relevant research in recent years. Then, we constructed an intelligent ERA mechanism from the following four aspects: medical intelligence, management intelligence, decision-making intelligence, and supervision intelligence. Further, we evaluated the impact of intelligent technologies on ERA and ranked their criticality. Finally, we provide direction and suggestions for further research on the application of intelligent technology in ERA. View this paper
