Welcome from the Chair
MDPI is pleased to collaborate with UDIMA - Madrid Open University to host an online Scientific Publishing Exchange that provides essential insights into MDPI and the world of Open Access publishing.
Welcome to this Scientific Publishing Exchange, 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.
