MDPI UK

Last month, MDPI UK held the first ever MDPI Editors Forum at The Pitt Building in central Cambridge, bringing together eighteen of our Editorial Board Members across seventeen MDPI journals.

Four presentations were given throughout the forum by members of our UK office, exploring MDPI's Editorial Process, Publication Ethics, and MDPI's Institutional Open Access Program (IOAP).

Following on from this, we heard from Professor Carol Shoulders from Queen Mary University of London. Prof. Shoulders is also the Section Editor-in-Chief for the "Genetics and Genomics" Section of Biology MDPI (ISSN: 2079-7737). During the presentation, she discussed her experience in the role, including her responsibilities and the importance of Special Issues and reviews in increasing impact factors and journal visibility.

We would like to extend a big thank you to our editors for attending the forum and look forward to continuing our work with them in the coming months.
