MDPI is pleased to collaborate with Universidad Miguel Hernández, Spain to host an author training session that provides essential insights into MDPI and the world of Open Access publishing.
Welcome to this Author Training session, designed specifically for PhD students, early-career academic staff, and mid-career colleagues. This event offers a valuable opportunity to enhance your skills, particularly in the critical area of peer-reviewing for academic journals.
