In early 2009, Dr. Werner Bonrath was invited to guest edit a Special Issue on sustainable chemistry [1], of the first papers in the newly founded journal Sustainability [2]. As a chemist, I had planned for a long time to launch a journal devoted to sustainable chemistry. There are already several successful journals: Green Chemistry [3], ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering [4], and ChemSusChem [5]. These three journals [4,5] have published more than 10,000 papers over the last 5 years. However, during this period, only 10% (or approximately 1000) of these papers have been published in an open access format. MDPI would like to join forces with those existing journals, providing a high-quality open access publishing service to green and sustainable chemistry and engineering scholars. MDPI has been running and supporting the MolMall chemical samples preservation and exchange project (MolMall, www.mdpi.org) for 24 years [6].
MDPI became the largest publisher of open access articles in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) in 2018, and the fifth largest publisher of scholarly journals in 2019 [7]. According to the Publons database this year, we provide the highest standard peer review editorial service [8]. We maintain close contact with our authors, reviewers and chemists, to maintain and improve this fast and rigorous peer review, editorial and publishing process.
We hope you enjoy publishing with us!
