MDPI's CEO Delia Mihaila Interviewed by DOAJ

The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) recently invited Delia Mihaila, MDPI's CEO, for a catch-up discussion reflecting on the changes in open access publishing during the past few years as well as the contributions made by MDPI as a pioneer in open access publishing.

Asked about what action needs to be taken to further advance open access in academia, Delia held that "we believe there needs to be more collaboration across all levels to find flexible options in publishing that allow more people to be involved in open access. [...] At MDPI, we pride ourselves on always remaining agile and dynamic to better serve the ever-changing needs of the scholarly community."
