MDPI’s Newly Launched Journals in September 2026
Our portfolio of journals available for publishing up-to-date research in immediate open access format has been further expanded. In September 2026, sixteen new journals released their inaugural issues and one transferred journal released their first issue as part of MDPI, covering the subjects of engineering, public health & healthcare, environmental & earth sciences, chemistry & materials science, social sciences, arts and humanities, medicine & pharmacology, business & economics, computer science & mathematics, and biology & life sciences.
We extend our gratitude to the Editors-in-Chief, Associate Editors, and Editorial Board Members who are shaping the future course of MDPI’s new journals.
