Special Issue in International Journal of Molecular Sciences: Tryptophan in Nutrition and Health 2.0

In general very good, flexibility in deadlines important, sometimes it takes time to get good reviewers that deliver and authors that can pay. Free slots for participants in lesseconomical developed countries are important.

Special Issue in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health: Violence against Women as an Interdisciplinary Challenge in Public Health

Less

My experience is good. Reviewers specialized in the subject matter should be sought. The presence of reference authors with discounts and free articles should be increased. It demonstrates the professionalism of the editorial group when I observe professors who have already led more than 10-15 Special Issues.

I was very busy these days, but I still felt it was a very good experience. I wish I could guest edit another SI again in the future with IJMS. It would be helpful for the guest editors to establish an automatic sending system for calls for papers to contributors.

Special Issue in International Journal of Molecular Sciences: Infection and the Kidney

It was a great experience because I had the possibility to read (preview) the manuscript submitted by researchers spread worldwide. This has been very important to better understand the state of the art of my research topic activity.

Thank you very much for your support! Sometimes we have had a few problems or doubts (with authors, reviewers, Land, etc.) during the long and demanding process for 16 published papers. However, everyone solved them in a good way with Land. In fact, we are happy because we are going to be guest editors in a "Second Edition" about our SI. Thank you very much for your past and recent invitations and help!

I would describe my Special Issues experience with MDPI as very positive. I would especially praise the excellently organized and simple MDPI web platform, but also the very polite and helpful editorial staff who always respond to questions and emails in a very short time. Since this was my first experience as a Special Issue editor, I can say I learned a lot about ways of promotion in scientific publishing, but also gained new knowledge in the field of my area of expertise by participating in the manuscript review process. I am grateful to Catalysts for this unique experience.
