[GOAL] MDPI annual report 2017 has been released

[Dr. Franck Vazquez | CEO | MDPI]

Thanks Richard,

You are right that there is no financial information in this report. We 
want this report to focus on the progress relevant to scholarly 
communities. The financial information is a different aspect that I 
prefer to address separately.

We are preparing a simple finance oriented report (but not as detailed 
as PLoS has been doing) for the 2015-2017 period where we will highlight 
the evolution of our APC range and distribution, of number of fully 
waived journals and articles, of the discounts and waivers, of the 
subsidized not-for profit projects, and of the sponsoring of academic 
events and awards.
This will take a few more weeks to finalize.

Best wishes,
Franck
