Journals Covered by Leading Indexing Databases
MDPI aims to have all of its journals covered by the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Scopus indexing databases. Forty journals are included in the SCIE, with the majority of them having received Journal Impact Factors.

To be able to provide open access journals, we finance publication through article processing charges (APC); these are usually covered by the authors' institutes or research funding bodies.
