Researchers can also benefit from a 10% discount on the Book Processing Charges for MDPI Books.

Note that only one discount through an IOAP scheme is permitted per paper, and that the discount can be combined with other available discounts (e.g., reviewer vouchers or discounts offered by the Editorial Office).

Authors affiliated with participating universities receive a discount on the APC for any paper published in an MDPI journal.

In place of invoicing individual authors, we offer central payment, where invoices are all sent to a single university address.

Invoices can be bundled and paid in bulk or issued on the same day each month.

We offer simplification of administrative processes in order to reduce the overheads associated with APCs.

Our open access program aims to support institutions through the following means: Some institutions may find that associated authors regularly publish in MDPI journals, and that administering the increasing number of APCs can be time consuming.

To cover the costs of publishing open access, authors are billed for article processing charges (APCs) for accepted papers. MDPI is dedicated to providing free access to the latest research.
