MDPI will be attending the 31st International Carbohydrate Symposium (ICS2024), which will be held from 14 to 19 July 2024 in Shanghai, China.

ICS2024 will follow the convention of the previous ICS symposiums to provide a global forum for researchers engaging in all aspects of carbohydrates. Besides classical topics on carbohydrate chemistry, chemical glycobiology, and glycobiology, the current developments of carbohydrates and glycotechnologies in the fields of the diagnosis and therapy of diseases, nutrients and cosmetics, agriculture and biofuels, and materials will be highlighted. ICS2024 will reflect the state-of-art as well as future trends of the glycosciences and forge communication and corporations between glycoscientists from various areas and disciplines.

The following topics will be covered:

• Glycochemistry;
• Glycobiology;
• Carbohydrate drugs;
• Sugar vaccines;
• Carbohydrate materials.

The following MDPI journals will be represented at the symposium:

• Nutrients;
• IJMS;
• Molecules;
• Nutraceuticals;
• Foods;
• Biomolecules;
• Marine Drugs;
• Vaccines;
• CIMB;
• BioChem;
• Applied Sciences;
• Antibodies.

If you are planning to attend the above conference, we encourage you to visit our booth and speak to our representatives. We are eager to meet you in person and assist you with any queries that you may have.

MDPI is pleased to announce the inclusion of 237 journals in the 2024 release of the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and share the key results (see above).

This year, journals covered in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) received category ranks together with journals in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). Overall, 139 MDPI journals indexed in ESCI are included in the new unified rankings for the first time.

Enhanced Comparability of Data

According to Clarivate, "the creation of unified category rankings [provides] a simpler and more complete category view for the evaluation of journal performance. [...] The category-first approach simplifies journal performance assessment with a holistic view of all journals in each subject category."

We are thrilled to announce that 72% of our ranked MDPI journals (171 of 237) are above average, in Q1 or Q2. Twenty-nine of our journals received their first Impact Factor this year, accounting for more than 5% of the journals accepted into the Web of Science last year.
