Congratulations to Dr. Serap Tepe: Winner of the MDPI Books Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities Competition 2025!

We're thrilled to announce Dr. Serap Tepe as the winner of our inaugural Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities Book Competition! Dr. Tepe's winning proposal, Psychosocial Disruptions in a Digitalized Society, explores through a social work lens how our digital world affects emotions, relationships, and well-being.

As our competition winner, Dr. Tepe receives full editorial support and a complete waiver of Book Processing Charges (BPCs), enabling open access publication at no cost to her.*

What makes this work stand out?
Dr. Tepe's research reveals that digital well-being isn't just about screen time, it's about human connection. As she puts it: "Behind every digital behavior—whether it's scrolling, gaming, or working online—there are deeper psychosocial needs: belonging, validation, and meaning."

Why open access matters
Dr. Tepe shares: "Open access publishing allows knowledge to reach people beyond academic circles—social workers in the field, educators, students, and even families who are experiencing the very challenges I write about."

We're proud to support researchers like Dr. Tepe in making impactful scholarship freely accessible to everyone who needs it.

*All MDPI Books competition winners and their publications are subject to passing peer review.

The Hidden Struggles of Early-Career Researchers in Academic Publishing

Did you know that early-career researchers face systematic barriers that have nothing to do with the quality of their work?

The reality for ECRs:
📉 Low h-index scores, not because of poor research, but simply fewer publications
💰 Funding criteria that require "2+ years post-PhD" regardless of capability
📚 No formal training in peer review processes
⚠️ Precarious job contracts that make long-term planning nearly impossible

Your research deserves to be published. Your voice deserves to be heard.

The h-index measures citations, but it can't measure potential. It can't measure the innovative ideas you're bringing to your field.

Read the full article on the challenges ECRs face: https://brnw.ch/21wX45Q

At MDPI Books we believe the academic publishing landscape should be more accessible to emerging scholars. That's why we created the Early-Career Researcher Prize, to remove barriers and provide the support ECRs need.
