Journals covered by leading indexing databases

MDPI aims to have all of its journals covered by the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Scopus. Several journals have already been covered by SCIE for several years and have received official impact factors. Some life-science related journals are also covered by PubMed/MEDLINE and archived through PubMed Central (PMC). All our journals are archived with the Swiss National Library.

All content is Open Access and free for readers

Journals published by MDPI are fully open access: research articles, reviews or any other content on this platform is available to everyone free of charge. To be able to provide open access journals, we finance the publications by collecting article processing charges (APC) from the authors; usually collected from the authors' institutes or research funding bodies.
