I would describe my Special Issues experience with MDPI as very positive. I would especially praise the excellently organized and simple MDPI web platform, but also the very polite and helpful editorial staff who always respond to questions and emails in a very short time. Since this was my first experience as a Special Issue editor, I can say I learned a lot about ways of promotion in scientific publishing, but also gained new knowledge in the field of my area of expertise by participating in the manuscript review process. I am grateful to Catalysts for this unique experience.

My experience with MDPI is very positive, as author, Guest Editor, Topic Board Member, and reviewer, due to the speed of the responses and processing, the nice service provided by the editorial staff, and the open access policy of the journal.
