MDPI reports 12 per cent rise in submissions in 2025 annual results

 https://www.researchinformation.info/news/mdpi-reports-12-rise-in-submissions-in-2025-annual-results/

It is interesting to note that MDPI was one of the first major publishers that Jeffrey Beall placed on his notorious "Beall List" of predatory journals/publishers. It is also interesting to note that this legacy is still in effect with many Thai universities who do not allow MDPI published papers for academic credit, even though the journals are active in both WOS and Scopus.

MDPI recorded a 12% increase in manuscript submissions in 2025, according to its latest annual report – which reported sustained demand from authors and institutions.

The publisher received more than 669,000 submissions during the year and published 261,576 peer-reviewed articles, while maintaining a rejection rate of over 60%. MDPI also expanded its journal portfolio to 500 titles.

To support this growth, the organisation added 1,700 new staff globally, with investment focused on research integrity, editorial operations and technology. Its institutional footprint also continued to expand, with more than 1,000 Institutional Open Access Program (IOAP) agreements in place at the start of 2026.

Stefan Tochev, CEO at MDPI, said: “The conversation is shifting from why research should be open to how Open Access can be sustainable, inclusive, and impactful. MDPI is prioritising the infrastructure and partnerships necessary to be a key player in this next phase. It is our continued investment in people, technology, and ethical safeguards that ensures we can meet rising demand while continuing to strengthen the quality and accessibility of scientific communication.”

The publisher says author satisfaction remained high, with 96% of respondents in MDPI’s annual survey rating their experience as ‘Excellent’ or ‘Good’.

The report also highlights increased visibility through indexing. A total of 329 journals are now included in Web of Science, while 355 are indexed in Scopus, alongside continued performance in Journal Citation Reports.

Dr. Constanze Schelhorn, head of publishing at MDPI, said: “Comprehensive indexing in leading databases reflects that our journals meet established quality criteria and supports the trust authors and institutions place in MDPI. It also plays an important role in ensuring transparency and accountability across our publishing activities.”

China launches Dongbi Index to challenge impact factor dominance

Chinese researchers have introduced a new methodology for evaluating medical and life science journals that moves beyond the traditional reliance on journal impact factors, in a development seen as part of wider efforts to strengthen the country’s “academic discourse power”.

According to the South China Morning Post two new Dongbi Index journal lists – covering 4,027 medical and 3,064 life science titles – were unveiled in Shanghai on March 21. The rankings draw from a pool of more than 40,000 journals worldwide and were developed by Shenzhen-based Dongbi Data in collaboration with the Institute of Medical Information & Library at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.

The initiative combines large-scale data analysis with a new evaluation framework. According to Wu Dengsheng, founder of Dongbi Data and a professor at Shenzhen University, the team had built “a multidimensional, multilevel evaluation system centred on research quality”.

“This provides crucial support for moving beyond the dominance of the impact factor – a measure of citations published within a given journal over a fixed period – and paper counts, while enhancing China’s academic voice,” he said.

Rather than simply counting citations, the Dongbi Index assesses their quality, constructing a citation network based on the assumption that high-quality papers cite work published in similarly strong journals. Using data from 2023 to 2025, journals are grouped into four tiers – A, B, C and D – forming a pyramid structure.

“We are not ‘rating’ the journals per se; our analysis is rather a reflection of how researchers actually assess journals within their fields,” Wu said.

Supporters argue the approach addresses known weaknesses in the impact factor. In 2025, Chinese authors contributed more than 110,000 of the 520,000 articles published in indexed medical journals, and nearly one-third of global life science papers. However, relatively few Chinese journals rank highly, underlining a continued gap in domestic publishing capacity.
