“As researchers increasingly turn to AI assistants to navigate the literature, it is important that AI-generated answers are grounded in the scholarly record.”

Constanze Schelhorn, Chief Publishing Officer, MDPI

“By making MDPI content available through Scite.ai and the Scite MCP, we enable researchers to discover and engage with our open access publications in AI-driven environments, augmented by Scite's Smart Citations technology and direct links to the version of record, the authoritative published version of each article.”

Sharon Mattern Büttiker, Vice President of Publisher Relations & Content Strategy, Research Solutions

“Open access has always been about making research more accessible.”

Sharon Mattern Büttiker, Vice President of Publisher Relations & Content Strategy, Research Solutions

“As discovery moves into AI tools, publishers need to know that researchers are finding the right source and authors are receiving proper attribution.”

“MDPI is taking an important step toward meeting researchers where they are while maintaining a direct connection to the authoritative version of its content and gaining greater visibility into how that content is discovered.”
