Basel, Switzerland (26 February 2025)—Following the success of a year-long pilot on Journal Home, MDPI, the world’s largest fully open access publisher, has expanded its partnership with ResearchGate. The partnership has now grown from 10 to 200 MDPI scholarly journals, giving access to 1.5 million version-of-record research and review articles.

These journals will benefit from dedicated journal profiles across ResearchGate's platform, as well as representation on all associated article pages and touchpoints within the ResearchGate network. Automatic updates for authors will also help to simplify content management, providing valuable insights into readership and citations.

This extended collaboration will boost the reach and visibility of MDPI’s open access content among ResearchGate’s global community of over 25 million researchers, exemplifying their shared commitment to ensuring open research is widely discoverable and accessible.

"The pilot program with ResearchGate exceeded our expectations, providing a valuable service for our authors while increasing the discoverability of their work,” said Stefan Tochev, CEO of MDPI. “This expanded agreement underscores our mutual dedication to empowering the academic community and amplifying the reach of open access content".
