[GOAL] List of APCs per publisher

[Dr. Franck Vazquez | CEO | MDPI]

Dear all,

Having a place where scholars can compare up-to-date APCs at a glance 
would surely be very welcomed. It would also be very useful for 
publishers, like MDPI, who aim to maintain competitive pricing. 
Obviously, page/color charges should also be clearly available for 
subscription journals offering optional OA.

APCs of MDPI journals are available at a glance here:

We are happy to help DOAJ and the Open APC initative to keep the list of 
APCs for our journals up-to-date.

Best wishes,
Franck
