Journal History

2000 The inaugural issue was released. IJMS was published as a quarterly journal.
2003 IJMS adopted a monthly publication schedule.
2004 IJMS was indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) - Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics).
2005 IJMS received its first Impact Factor (1.467).
2007 IJMS established the following sections:
  • Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Biophysics (later was renamed as Biochemistry);
  • Nutraceuticals and Chemopreventives (later was renamed as Bioactives and Nutraceuticals);
  • Physical Chemistry, Theoretical and Computational Chemistry (discontinued later);
  • Material Sciences and Nanotechnology (later was renamed as Materials Science);
  • Molecular Pathology;
  • Green Chemistry.
2008 MDPI joined CrossRef and started assigning DOI numbers to each paper published in the IJMS.
All papers from this year on were released under the Creative Commons (CC-BY) license.
IJMS was archived in PubMed Central (PMC) and indexed in PubMed.
2009 IJMS published its 500th paper.
IJMS established the following sections:
  • Molecular Toxicology;
  • Muscle Contraction (discontinued after one year);

  • Molecular Diagnostics.
2010 IJMS published its 1,000th paper.
2014 IJMS published its 5,000th paper.
2015 IJMS established the section Bioinorganic Chemistry.
2016 IJMS established the following sections:
  • Molecular Botany (later was renamed as Molecular Plant Sciences);
  • Translational Medicine (discontinued after one year).
IJMS announced the first edition of the Young Investigator Prize and Travel Awards.
2017 IJMS published its 10,000th paper.
IJMS held its first physical meeting, the 2nd International Symposium on Frontiers in Molecular Science: Non-Coding RNAs and Epigenetics in Cancer, in Basel, Switzerland, from 21 to 23 June 2017.
IJMS rearranged the sections as following:
  • Biochemistry, Molecular and Cellular Biology;
