Reprint Requests

This service is exclusively available to Guest Editors of MDPI journals.

It allows Guest Editors to compile a reprint from a completed Special Issue, Topical Collection, Topic, or Proceedings free of charge. Each reprint is assigned ISBNs and a DOI, ensuring broad visibility and accessibility.

A minimum of 10 published papers (excluding editorials) is required to qualify for this service. Once finalized and published, the reprint is available in open access and as a print-on-demand copy. Contributors receive a discount on print copies, and Guest Editors are provided with one complimentary print copy to showcase at conferences or seminars.

Reprints are distributed globally and indexed in international databases.

Guest Editors may include a preface and biographical notes in the front matter. However, additional articles from other Special Issues, journals, or publishers cannot be included.

Custom Selection Reprints can include any MDPI-published paper, regardless of the journal or Special Issue affiliation. These reprints may focus on a specific theme, be interdisciplinary, or serve as author collections.

Custom Selection Reprints allow users to assemble reprints in book format tailored to their needs, whether as an author collection, a teaching resource, an institutional yearbook, or handouts for conferences and meetings.

Custom Selection Reprints are direct-to-customer books. This means they are printed and delivered only to the person or group who ordered them. They are not assigned an ISBN, are not listed in the MDPI Books Library, and are not made available through public sales platforms or distribution channels.
