The edit using Q1 open access paper published in the journal Pharmaceutics journal was removed stating that it is unreliable predatory source. Link: https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4923/16/8/1081
The academic journals are categorised to 4 and Q1 include the top 25% of journals. The journal Pharmaceutics belongs to this category.
Also, the citation is from a systematic review. When we consider hierarchy of evidence, systematic reviews lies in the top part. They are well designed academic studies.
So, a systematic review published in a Q1 journal undergoes a critical review process, initially from a group of academic researchers, then from the journal editor and reviewers from the journal who are well reputed researchers in the related subject.

Pharmaceutics was Q2 in 11 years ago. Moreover, kindly read the description given in wikipedia it self. According to wikipedia, it is only 5% (or can be consider as 10%) of MDPI. PriyadharshaniK (talk) 17:45, 24 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Kindly find it's indexing in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and embase. Both PubMed and Medline are from National Library of Medicine.
As I have motioned earlier, the most reliable source for determining whether a journal is predatory or not is SJR which says Pharmaceutics is a Q1 journal from 2014. It's not predatory simply because publisher is MDPI. PriyadharshaniK (talk) 18:43, 24 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Not being on MEDLINE doesn't necessarily mean the journal is predatory. Simply, that is the reason for a systematic review carry their searches in at least five different data bases and more the better. It is not mandatory for a journal to be indexed in MEDLINE. On the other hand it's journal decision as well to apply for MEDLINE. Moreover, when it's published in PubMed, it is indexed. Simply in this case, anyone can argue if a PhD thesis is not published in MEDLINE, it is predatory.
How can a journal be labelled as predatory simply by not indexed in MEDLINE, when the cite used for labelling, i.e. SJR says it is Q1. The argument should be based on facts, not be bias. PriyadharshaniK (talk) 19:02, 24 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Just before editing the page again, I am checking any further objections for the citation, or whether you have any favours for particular publication to cite the same (wound healing properties by medical cannabis). PriyadharshaniK (talk) 01:29, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I answered why it's too weak. The article cites plenty of 'good sources' - check them out. Alternatively search for other good sources (WP:MEDRS in reputable MEDLINE-indexed journals e.g.) Bon courage (talk) 05:24, 10 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Simply, since you are fixed minded, I added a screen shot of the medline search which I accessed through my library. I invite you to search independently in medline. PriyadharshaniK (talk) 20:05, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Since you find it difficult to understand about different search engines, here is the search results for the phrase "Cannabinoids in Integumentary Wound Care" in different search engines which search the database: medline.
The first two links are landing pages which require accounts. You can check the NLM iself with this link.[2] No result. You will need to clear the MEDLINE filter to see any result. Bon courage (talk) 01:15, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
