MDPI Insights: The CEO's Letter #1 - Open Access and Impactful Research
Welcome to the MDPI Insights: The CEO's Letter.
In these monthly letters, I will showcase two key aspects of our work at MDPI: our commitment to empowering researchers and our determination to facilitating open scientific exchange.
Opening Thoughts
The Future is Open, and MDPI is Leading the Way
I strongly believe in a future that embraces openness, where open source, open information, and open access (OA) take center stage. This belief that led me to join MDPI in 2020, and I am honored to have recently been appointed as Chief Executive Officer (CEO). In this capacity, and operating in close liaison with Dr. Lin and MDPI’s senior management, I shall work to build on Dr. Lin’s achievements of the past quarter-century. In this role, I will focus on communication initiatives to promote MDPI's remarkable work and continue to build our company as a trusted leader in OA publishing. For over two decades, MDPI has been at the forefront of reshaping the academic publishing landscape, with OA surpassing subscription-based publishing in 2020. This trajectory is deeply rooted in our history and reflects our unwavering commitment and vision for an open future.
1 Million Published Articles
2023 began with a remarkable achievement for MDPI, as we became the first OA publisher to reach the milestone of 1 million published articles. This represents 2.7 million unique authors who have trusted us with their work, or about a third of all researchers worldwide. As the world's most cited OA publisher, we are proud in sharing these significant milestones.
Our mission remains unchanged: to make science open and accessible to all. We understand the importance of knowledge access, empowering researchers to stay at the forefront of a rapidly changing world. Our diverse range of journals covers a wide spectrum of disciplines, offering cutting-edge insights, trusted tools, and crucial knowledge to address global challenges.
Liberating Science
As the world’s leading OA publisher, MDPI is actively liberating science. We are committed to eliminating the frustrations researchers and the general public face when accessing information, ensuring it is not locked behind paywalls. We firmly believe that everyone has a right to information, and our commitment to open access publishing drives our work.
In this inaugural edition of Insights: The CEO's Letter, I draw inspiration from the upcoming 20th anniversary of the Berlin Declaration on Open Access. Its stated mission reminds us that true impact is achieved when knowledge is widely and readily available to society:
"Our mission of disseminating knowledge is only half complete if the information is not made widely and readily available to society”
Impactful Research

MDPI journals are indexed in every single top database in the world.
As of June 2023, we have 214 journals indexed within Web of Science, 223 indexed within Scopus, 87 indexed within PubMed and PMC, and 17 indexed within MEDLINE, and these numbers increase every month. We constantly strive to expand the coverage of our journals within leading multi-disciplinary and scope-specific databases, resulting in an incredibly broad range of journals that are indexed within a variety of databases. MDPI has active relationships with approximately 65 well-known databases around the world, and we continue to expand our portfolio every year so that your work can be found, cited, and referenced with ease.
Continued Growth of MDPI Journals
The 2022 Scopus and Web of Science journal citation metrics were officially released in June, and I am pleased to report that 31 MDPI journals received their first CiteScore, taking the total number of journals with a CiteScore to 216. The number of MDPI journals receiving an Impact Factor (IF) also continues to grow with 111 receiving their first, by being covered in the ESCI, bringing our total number of journals with an IF to 208 of which 41 journals received an IF above 4.0. Looking at 2022 CiteScores in the Scopus database, 80% of MDPI journals have a score that ranks them in Q1 or Q2 in at least one subject category.
Publishing impactful science would not be possible without all of our authors, editors and reviewers. Thank you for your contribution and continued support! Together we share the latest scientific insights faster and ensure that your work is accessible to all.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Webinar | Marine Renewable Energy and the Transition to a Low Carbon Future, 13 June 2023
In this webinar, our focus will be on advances and challenges in the extraction of offshore renewable energy. Offshore renewable energy sources are abundant, and the amount of energy that can be generated using existing technologies varies from site to site and day to day, depending on the location and weather conditions.
As we are all aware, a drastic reduction in CO2 emissions and transition to a low-carbon future represents an issue of increasing importance. From this perspective, the extraction of clean offshore renewable energy is a very important issue. On the other hand, the technologies associated with offshore renewable energy are significant for achieving the expected energy efficiency and environmental protection targets. Although significant advances have been made in extracting various forms of offshore renewable energy, there are still important challenges related to the implementation of cost-effective technologies that could survive in harsh marine environments.
Such aspects will be discussed in this webinar, which seeks to contribute to the renewable energy agenda and to improve knowledge and performance in harvesting offshore renewable energy.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Webinar | Application of Digital Twin for Structural Health Monitoring of Marine Structures, 23 May 2023
A marine environment is a harsh environment that requires extra care for marine structures due to fatigue loading, corrosive environment, etc. Otherwise, undesired consequences can occur which can cause human life losses, economic losses, or environmental pollution. To minimize such risks, it will be important to continuously monitor the health of marine structures by using sensors located at different parts of structures by establishing their “digital twin”, so that necessary actions can be taken before catastrophic consequences occur. There are various structural health monitoring approaches available for this purpose. In this webinar, a new methodology, known as the inverse Finite Element Method (iFEM), will be presented. The iFEM is fast and robust, which makes it suitable for real-time monitoring. Moreover, with this method it is not necessary to measure loading acting on the structure, which may not be an easy task under operational conditions. The iFEM has been utilized for different marine structure types and will be demonstrated as part of this webinar. In addition, the importance of the location and number of sensors will be highlighted.
While the iFEM is a useful technique for detecting damage in a structure, it is also important to predict how damages can evolve in the future. Prediction of fracture and failure is a challenging research area. There are various methods available for this purpose, including the well-known finite element (FE) method. The FE method is a powerful technique for the deformation and stress analysis of structures. However, it has various disadvantages in predicting failure due to its mathematical structure. In order to overcome this problem, a new computational technique known as peridynamics was introduced. Peridynamics is a meshless approach, and it is very suitable for predicting crack initiation and propagation in structures subjected to different types of loading and environmental conditions. In this webinar, various applications of peridynamics for marine structures will be demonstrated.
