Announcements

As a leading open access publisher, MDPI provides scholars with a high-quality and rich academic exchange platform by continuously expanding into new and exciting research areas.

In December 2022, MDPI launched five new journals, covering multiple subjects such as life sciences, biology, medicine and pharmacology, social sciences and humanities. These new journals are being edited by established scholars across the world.

If you are interested in creating more open access journals with us to publish cutting-edge research, please send your journal proposal application to newjournal-committee@mdpi.com.

MDPI is pleased to announce that we now display the co-authors’ email addresses in addition to the corresponding author’s email address on the webpage of published papers, protected by Captcha. For more information about this change, please visit the journal’s instructions for authors page. 

We believe this change will facilitate academic discussions and advance our cause of open science and research. The corresponding authors are responsible for communicating with their co-authors and indicating in our system (https://susy.mdpi.com/) if co-authors would prefer for their email addresses not to be displayed.

On 9 February 2023, Clarivate, a global leader in providing trusted insights and analytics, added the Preprint Citation Index to the Web of Science platform, streamlining the research process by allowing researchers to locate and link to preprints alongside other trusted content in the database.

The Preprint Citation Index will act as a bridge to connect cutting-edge preprints with peer-reviewed journal articles published within the Web of Science Core Collection. Alerts can be easily set to monitor new research across several repositories and authors will also be able to include preprints on their Web of Science Research Profile to more accurately display their various research outputs.

As of its launch, the Preprint Citation Index will provide nearly two million preprints from various repositories, including MDPI’s own Preprints.org.

MDPI's Preprints Platform – Preprints.org

To advance Open Science and the fast dissemination of research, MDPI offers researchers a free multidisciplinary preprint platform. Preprints.org accepts submissions from all research areas and offers authors high visibility, permanent archiving, article-level Metrics and immediately citable content by assigning a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to all preprints.

During submission to any MDPI journal, authors have the option to share their research as a preprint. After an initial screening, the manuscript is available online in 48 hours or less. Once online, preprints can be downloaded, shared, commented on, and cited, providing authors maximum visibility.

We invite you to join the ranks of the over 100k researchers using Preprints.org and share your research.

For more information, please visit Preprints.org.

We are pleased to announce that Prof. Dr. Zheng Gai has been appointed Editor-in-Chief of the new Section “Spin Crossover and Spintronics” in Magnetochemistry (ISSN: 2312-7481).

Prof. Dr. Zheng Gai is a senior staff scientist at the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Group of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA. Before joining CNMS, she was a full professor at the Department of Physics of Peking University, China. She worked as a visiting professor at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, Halle, Germany; the Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan; and the State University of New York, Stony Brook. She has published over 170 peer-reviewed papers. The primary focus of her research is on understanding fundamental novel properties of quantum materials in the discipline of condensed matter physics, which includes the growth form and mechanisms, novel magnetic properties, superconductivity, and electronic properties.

The following is a short Q&A with Prof. Dr. Zheng Gai, who shared her vision for the journal with us, as well as her views of the research area and Open Access publishing:

1. What appealed to you about the journal that made you want to take the role as its Section Editor-in-Chief?
The aims, scope, and fast-paced publication process of Magnetochemistry appeal to me. Magnetochemistry publishes papers of high quality on various aspects of magnetism, from fundamental research on magnetism to applications of magnetic materials, devices, and technologies in all branches of chemistry. While I was serving as the academic editor for the journal, I had the opportunity to be involved in editorial decisions on manuscript screening, reviewing, and rebuttal and appeal. New experiences not only help me in my research, but also motivate me to contribute more to the community. Taking the Editor-in-Chief role of the “Spin Crossover and Spintronics” Section will give me more chances to use my knowledge and training in this focused area.

2. What is your vision for the journal?
My vision for this rapid publication journal is to provide opportunities for the discussion and exchange of ideas across multidisciplinary scholarly opinions, to create influence on academic as well as corporate thinkers, and to promote theoretical, empirical, and comparative research on problems.

3. What does the future of this field of research look like?
Magnetism has been a main subject of physics. In the nanotechnology era, magnetic materials are one of the most vital and fastest-growing areas of research in the field. Magnetism has penetrated many aspects of the research area. Therefore, the future of this research field is bright. As an example, spintronics, in addition to particles’ electric charges, is an emerging technology that exploits the intrinsic quantum properties of particles’ electrons and spin. The dynamic control of the electron spin offers possibilities for creating novel quantum-mechanical devices. Lately, 2D materials and quantum materials are drawing into spintronics because of their distinctive spin‑dependent properties. The spin crossover and spintronics are at the point of becoming a mainstream technology, resembling the semiconductor-based technology of the last century.

4. What do you think of the development of Open Access in the publishing field?
Open Access publication is a natural product of the internet explosion and literature digitalization, it helps to address some of the problems that the traditional publishing model evolved with. Open Access means that anyone with an internet connection can download and read and distribute any of the publications in an Open Access journal. It is free for the readers, so the audience of the research is much bigger and wider. I believe that this model will become mainstream in the publishing field in the future.

We wish Prof. Dr. Zheng Gai every success in her new position, and we look forward to her contributions to the journal.

We are pleased to announce that the Editor's Choice Articles published from 2021 to 2022 are now available. Editor’s Choice Articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of Magnetochemistry (ISSN: 2312-7481) from around the world. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal. You are welcome to read them at the following link: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/magnetochemistry/editors_choice.

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new initiative—the MDPI Special Issue Mentor Program.

This program will enable early career researchers (who must hold a Ph.D. in a related field) to experience editing a Special Issue in MDPI journals, under the mentorship of our experienced Editorial Board Members or other experienced scientists. The mentor program will provide an excellent opportunity for early career scientists to gain editorial experience, and to cultivate their ability to edit scientific research.

The mentee’s responsibilities include:

• Proposing a Special Issue title and assisting the mentor in preparing a summary (around 200–400 words) and 3–10 keywords describing the background, importance, and goal of the Issue;
• Writing a brief promotion plan for the Special Issue;
• Preparing a list of scholars who may be interested in the Issue and personally e-mailing invitations on behalf of Guest Editors;
• Writing an editorial for the online Special Issue together with the mentor.

The mentor’s responsibilities include:

• Conducting a final check before the Special Issue is published online;
• Performing editorial control of the Special Issue and quality control of the publications, both of which must be carried out in a timely manner;
• Providing suggestions to younger scholars if they have any doubts or concerns regarding submissions;
• Organizing video calls with young scholars and the Editorial Office regularly to discuss problems and improvement suggestions for the Special Issue;
• Making and submitting decisions regarding submissions with the assistance of mentees.

Certificates and awards:
After the Special Issue closes, the Editorial Office will provide official certificates for all the mentors and early career researchers.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please send your Special Issue proposal to the Editorial Office of a journal you choose, and we will discuss the process (i.e., mentor collaboration, Special Issue topic feasibility analysis, etc.) in further detail. The full list of MDPI journals is as follows: https://www.mdpi.com/about/journals.

In addition to the new Special Issue Mentor Program, we will continue to welcome all Special Issue proposals focusing on hot research topics.

MDPI has just become the first open access (OA) publisher to reach the milestone of one million articles published. That is one million articles freely available to all, to circulate and build upon! We are proud to share this special moment with the global scientific community.

This landmark has been reached thanks to the immeasurable support of more than 600,000 expert reviewers, 66,000 editorial board members and 6700 hard-working colleagues across MDPI’s global offices.

Within more than 25 years of publishing, our journals received 2.1 million manuscripts and generated 4.6 million peer review reports to get to one million papers published.

Reaching the milestone of one million articles published reinforces our mission to remove any existing barriers and to make scientific research accessible to all. Since its inception, MDPI’s goal has been to create reliable processes to make science open. This is a path towards facilitating the dissemination of novel insights in scientific communities.

Regular feedback from authors and reviewers shows that our service is greatly appreciated and needed. At the same time, the feedback helps us identify areas for further improvement.

As it stands, a significant share of published research findings remain closed access. More than half of the content published with the most well-known legacy publishers stays behind a paywall, and that is not including articles published in hybrid OA journals, or made available months or years after publication.

A new policy announced by the US administration in August 2022 requires that, as of January 2026, all US federally funded research be made freely and immediately available after publication. While the new policy does not mandate articles be published under an open access license, it is aligned with the open access movement in removing all barriers to research. Similarly, some of the most advanced research institutions in the world intend to have all funded research articles published in open access by 2025.

MDPI is proud to be the leading agent of the transition to open access.

"Thanks a Million" to all the contributors!

We are pleased to announce that the website of the MDPI Sustainability Foundation has been revamped! For the past couple of months, our UX UI team and front-end developers have been working hard to launch the website in time for the opening of the Sustainability Awards nominations.

The website is not the only thing that has had a remodeling. Indeed, the format of the Emerging Sustainability Leader Award (ESLA) has been updated. ESLA is now a competition open to individual researchers or start-ups founded by researchers under the age of 35. Nominee applications will go through 2 rounds of selection until the final 3 are decided. The finalists will then be invited to give pitch presentations during the Award Ceremony to win either first place (10,000 USD) or runner-up (2 x 5000 USD).

The World Sustainability Award, on the other hand, remains the same: a total prize money of 100,000 USD is up for grabs by senior individual researchers or groups of researchers from the international research community.

Nominations for both the World Sustainability Award and the Emerging Sustainability Leader award are now open! Check out our new website for more information on how to nominate.

Stanford University has recently published an update of the list of the top 2% most widely cited scientists—the World’s Top 2% Scientists.

The time node of the statistical data of this list is from 1960 to 2022, and it is divided into two lists: "Lifetime Scientific Influence Ranking" and "2022 Annual Scientific Influence Ranking". The "Lifetime Scientific Influence Ranking" counts the comprehensive influence performance of scientists during their careers, and the "2022 Annual Influence Ranking" focuses on highlighting the academic influence of scientists in the previous year. This ranking, considered the most prestigious worldwide, is based on the bibliometric information contained in the Scopus database and includes more than 200,000 researchers from the more than 10 million scientists considered to be active worldwide, with 22 scientific fields and 176 subfields taken into account.

We are pleased to share that 55 Editorial Board Members from MDPI’s journal Magnetochemistry (ISSN: 2312-7481) were featured in Stanford University World’s Top 2% Scientists list in 2022.

The latest Stanford rankings reflect the significant influence and research excellence of the scientists, who are committed to furthering their knowledge for the benefit of the world.

We would like to congratulate our Editorial Board Members on their excellent achievement and thank them for their immense contribution to the scientific progression and development of Magnetochemistry.
