MDPI Celebrates a Year of Continued Success in Open Access Publishing
Reflecting on our incredible journey at MDPI, 2023 has been marked by the consolidation and strengthening of editorial standards. Rigorous pre-screening processes and comprehensive journal scope revisions have reinforced our commitment to academic integrity and quality.
We saw significant growth in paper submissions and introduced initiatives dedicated to enhancing our delivery of high-standard services to the scientific community.
Notably, our peer-reviewed articles published in 2023 accounted for 17% of all articles published in gold open access journals. This remarkable achievement is thanks to the dedication of our academic experts on the editorial boards of more than 430 fully open access journals. This success continues to grow with the increasing impact of the open access model, which is transforming the way research is disseminated globally.
