“We publish in IJMS the third time now. In current time an open access publication practice is very important. MDPI provides quick and fair review process, full transparency and fair article processing charges. The IJMS editors are prompt in answer to authors, they achieve very appreciated and proper job. I would like to express my appreciation to the prepared manuscript forms and the submission and procession system, which is very efficient and makes the job for the authors easy. The reputation of the Journal as well as its impact factor are very good. Our main way of submitting our original and review works is MDPI now. I would recommend MDPI and IJMS to all my colleagues and peer researchers.”

“We would like to acknowledge the great competence and efficiency of the editorial team of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences through all the reviewing and publishing process of our Review paper. The journal provides an easy online platform which simplifies the manuscript submission process, and the communication flows rapidly. Although we have manuscripts published by other MDPI journals, this was the first time that we had the pleasure of publishing in IJMS. We, sincerely, wish it would not be the last.”

“I have now published three research papers in IJMS and am impressed by the ease of the submission and editing process which has been carried out in a timely manner in all cases. The reviewers of my submissions have also been thorough, knowledgable and fair, a refreshing change to my experiences with many other journals where this can be a hit and miss experience with some reviewers clearly not reading the submission thoroughly enough-which is obvious from the inept questions they raise. I will certainly bear this journal in mind for future publications and will recommend it to my colleagues when appropriate special initiative issues appear on the horizon. Other journals could certainly learn a few things from IMJS, of the many many journals which now exist, IMJS stands out in terms of quality and ease of submission.”

“I am happy to write these few lines to describe my excellent experience with the IJMS. First of all, I really appreciated being invited to edit the special issue "Rare Inherited Coagulation Disorders (RICDs)". I contributed to this special issue with a paper on FV deficiency, and I found the whole experience really impressive. The interaction with the editorial staff (at any level) was really satisfying. The online system was user friendly, and the upload of files extremely fast. Indeed, "fast" is the keyword, cause extremely rapid was the entire procedure, from the first submission up to proofreading. In addition, I quickly obtained all responses to my questions. No delays, at any step. Here, I wish to thank you the editors and the staff, and I have to say that I will strongly recommend you to my colleagues.”

“It has been my first experience with Int. J. Mol. Sci., although I already published on another MDPI journal. I’m simply impressed about the efficiency of the entire system! Submitting, reviewing and publishing processes are very fast and sometimes this can be decisive in several aspects and steps of the carrier, especially for young scientists. I want to congratulate also with the Editorial team for the constructive and professional inputs in regard to the contents of the articles.”

“Our experience to publish with IJMS can be simply characterized as excellent and superb; really constructive suggestions, rapid revision process, highly efficient communication with the Handling Editor, strong support from the Editorial Office regarding reduction of the APC expenses when applied (e.g. an author affiliated with Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA), an incredible illustration of the final article, and a unique flexibility and understanding of the accounting department in terms of the time APC debts are paid back to the journal. I strongly suggest IJMS as an ideal journal for scientists, professors and researchers to submit their work for publication. It is one of the best and worldwide recognized journals in its field. We are all here, in Athens, Greece and Harvard Medical School, MA, USA, very excited and proud for having our works finally published in IJMS. Thank you all so much for this great opportunity.”

“This was the first time for me to work with IJMS of MDPI. This was also the first time for me to feel that "something is going on" instead of "Is it being read at all?" before the announcement of decision. These two different attitudes are related to the publication speed and professional reviewers level. Although we spent a lot of time writing a paper for which we were considered experts, our first draft were nearly rejected and the comments were frustratingly harsh. However, our manuscript was getting much better because of the immediate and constructive response from the referees. So if I have another opportunity to introduce our research, I will.”

“I appreciated the invitation by guest editors Dr. Grässel and Dr. Aszodi to contribute a paper to IJMS’ Special Issue "Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Regeneration". Upon discussing it with my international team of collaborators, we happily accepted this invitation. Overall, submission was stress-free and reviewing was fair and rebuttal transparent. The publication process with MDPI was fast and involved all co-authors at all times. In addition, communication with the editorial staff was pleasant.”
