This was my first time publishing a paper in Antioxidants. The review process was highly efficient, thorough, and friendly. The reviewers’ comments were really helpful. Time is a very important and key point for authors, and this publishing company is concious of this, so I am sure I will send more manuscripts to Antioxidants and other MDPI journals!

We were invited to contribute an article to a great journal entitled “Microglial Activation and Oxidative Stress in PM2.5-Induced Neurodegenerative Disorders”. When we undertook this task, the editorial management team promptly sent instructions to guide our writing. They are very professional and patient with no obstacles in communications. After we submitted the manuscript, the review process went smoothly and the comments were very instructive and insightful, which helped improve the quality of our paper. The review of the re-submitted manuscript, as well as the proofreading process, was very efficient. We greatly appreciate the work of the editorial team and look forward to our next collaboration.

I think that it was a good experience, with excellent staff. The only point is that there are a lot of proposals for Special Issues from many journals and everyone gets many invitations. An accurate selection of the topic, good journal reputation and, not last, cost reduction for first articles would help.

Given the opportunity to guest edit SIs in Nanomaterials has enabled me to crystallise my genuine view (since 2000) that nanoscale effects have to be better understood with time for the continual collective advancement of the field. It is vital that the articles in the SI capture the state of flux in the field at that point in time, for convenient and effective future reference. Thank you again.

I am exceptionally satisfied with MDPI once again! Everything is so organized and made simple. It is evident that MDPI put all efforts into making the submission and publication experience as good as it can be. They think like an author, not only like a publisher. The editorial staff responds very quickly with all the help and information needed and they are very polite every time - response and politeness are very important to me. Especially when I consider the other competing publishers that take months to get a response - if you are lucky to get one after many tries. The paper was refereed fast and efficiently. The time from submission to publication is very fast and this is one of the best features at MDPI. Everything works seamlessly and provides the best publishing experience for the researcher. A publisher that truly cares about the authors. Congratulations MDPI!
