Announcements

MDPI, the leading Open Access (OA) publisher, announced on Monday that it opened its Korean branch office on 29th April 2024. With this addition, MDPI now operates 21 offices in 12 countries worldwide. Claude Seo, with over 20 years of experience in the academic journal publishing industry, including Nature Publishing Group (NPG), has been appointed as the Office Manager of the Seoul office.

With the establishment of a Seoul office, MDPI aims to actively support Korea scientific communities to further promote the publication of OA journals in the region. As of the end of 2023, Korea ranked sixth worldwide in both submissions and publications of MDPI research papers. MDPI is the number one OA publisher in Korea.

Sungkyunkwan University Joins MDPI’s Institutional Open Access Program

In addition, MDPI announced that Sungkyunkwan University joined MDPI’s Institutional Open Access Program (IOAP). This program offers free access to MDPI online submission system for the institutions and APC discounts to affiliated authors. Thirteen major Korean universities, including Sungkyunkwan University, Kyung Hee University, Chung-Ang University and Catholic University of Korea, have adopted IOAP in Korea.

OA aims to break down barriers that have traditionally restricted access to science, ensuring that knowledge is available to all, regardless of financial situation or institutional affiliations. Authors, academia, and scientific communities are rapidly moving toward OA. MDPI has been at the forefront of reshaping the academic publishing landscape, with OA surpassing subscription-based publishing in 2020.

MDPI CEO Visits Seoul, Korea

In March, Stefan Tochev, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MDPI, visited Korea and met with various stakeholders including government agencies, research and academic institutions, universities. During his visit, Stefan highlighted that MDPI continues to pave the way for a world where science is accessible to all, supporting a global community of inclusive innovation and collaborative solutions.

Stefan expressed excitement about the new venture, stating, "Today marks a significant milestone for MDPI as we celebrate the opening of our new office in Seoul, Korea. This expansion is more than just an increase in our physical footprint, it is a pivotal step in our ongoing commitment to making scientific knowledge more accessible, participatory, and inclusive across the globe."

Claude Seo, reflecting on his new role, commented, "I am delighted to have been offered this position of trust within MDPI, the no. 1 scholarly OA publisher. As we establish our presence in Korea, we are dedicated to integrating into the local community and contributing to its vibrant culture. Our commitment goes beyond business growth; it is about creating a more informed and innovative society by embracing and promoting diversity within the scientific community.”

Recently, we reached out to Dr. László Csambalik, winner of the Horticulturae 2023 Outstanding Reviewer Award, as we were eager to hear his perspectives on Horticulturae (ISSN: 2311-7524).

Name: Dr. László Csambalik
Affiliation: Department of Agroecology and Organic Farming, Institute of Rural Development and Sustainable Production, Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Hungary
Research interests: organic farming; plant production

The following is an interview with Dr. László Csambalik:

1. Could you please tell us a little more about yourself and your current research?

I graduated as a horticultural engineer and have been working as a researcher since 2018. My main research focus is on the practical aspects of organic vegetable production, covering a broad spectrum starting from the re-utilization of old landraces to the involvement of high-tech LED light treatments in sustainable crop production.

2. Could you please share your sentiments about winning the award with us?

I would like to express my gratitude to the Editorial Board and the editorial team for this award. I feel honored to have been selected.

3. What initially drew you to become a reviewer for MDPI’s Horticulturae?

I was first invited to become a reviewer for Horticulturae after preparing several reviews for other journals at MDPI. I think that due to the excellent reputation of the journal, it is a privilege for young researchers to review papers for Horticulturae. Reviewing is a great opportunity to keep myself up to date with the scientific field and to get to know different approaches to certain problems.

4. In your opinion, what are some key qualities that make a review outstanding?

Objectivity, clean structure, and logical, constructive, and easily understandable suggestions for the authors.

5. What do you think are the main criteria in the process of reviewing manuscripts?

Reviewers always must keep in mind that their primary role is to ensure the easy scientific information flow between the authors and the readers, not more or less. The reviewer has to support the authors in expressing the value of their work within the formal requirements of a scientific publication. Obviously, if the manuscript is below a certain scientific level, the reviewer’s task is to communicate this as well, in a very clear way.

6. Could you share some insights into your approach to reviewing manuscripts? How do you balance thoroughness with efficiency?

The first task of the reviewer, in my mind, is to decide whether the content of the manuscript meets the scientific requirements of the journal. When the answer is no, the reviewer has to be able to support the decision with well-founded reasons, and communication with the authors has to be very straightforward. If the manuscript needs further improvements, the reviewer needs to point out the problematic parts and justify the issues as well, without providing exact answers, as this is the task of the authors.
I always take manuscripts with me wherever I travel, this allows me to utilize my time accordingly. I use abbreviations or signs on the printed/electronic version of the manuscript for common mistakes.

Join us as we engage with our Horticulturae 2023 Outstanding Reviewer Award winner, Dr. Coral Ortiz, to discuss her scholarly insights and journey as a reviewer for Horticulturae (ISSN: 2311-7524).

The following is an interview with Dr. Coral Ortiz:

1. Could you please tell us a little more about yourself and your current research?
I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in agricultural engineering from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (Spain) in 1996 and earned a Ph.D. in agricultural engineering from UPM in 2000. Since then, I have been working as a Lecturer in the Rural and Agri-food Engineering Department at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain). Currently, my research focuses on smart sprayers, and harvest and postharvest machinery, with an emphasis on designing and utilizing technology for sustainable agriculture. Additionally, I serve as the Secretary for the Spanish Society of Agricultural Engineering.

2. Could you please share your sentiments about winning the award with us?
I am very grateful for receiving this award. I consider the task of being a scientific reviewer to be crucial for a researcher.

3. What initially drew you to become a reviewer for MDPI’s Horticulturae?
When conducting a literature review on a research topic, I often come across many very interesting articles in Horticulturae. I consider reviewing as a way to enhance one's knowledge about their research area.

4. In your opinion, what are some key qualities that make a review outstanding?
I think it is important to confront the reviewing process with the aim of improving the manuscript to obtain the highest possible quality based on the research carried out by the authors.

5. What do you think are the main criteria in the process of reviewing manuscripts?
From my point of view, the main criteria should be the rigor of the experiment. My question is always based on whether a completely rigorous experiment has been designed, conducted, and statistically analyzed to obtain useful results for solving an existing problem.

6. Could you share some insights into your approach to reviewing manuscripts? How do you balance thoroughness with efficiency?
I always begin by conducting a comprehensive literature review of the subject and ensure that the introduction is well structured and concludes with clear objectives for the study. Then, I verify that the experimental design has been clearly explained and that it would be possible to reproduce the protocol followed. I also review whether the results are consistent with the methodology explained earlier, ensuring they are not confusing and that a statistical analysis has been used and described. Finally, I examine whether an interesting discussion, based on previous results, has been presented, and whether the conclusions are aligned with the proposed objectives.
