If an author does not have a discount voucher and their university is not listed under an APC agreement, is there still any option to request an APC discount or fee waiver?
Hi,
Please visit this page for more information on APC waivers and discounts: https://www.mdpi.com/apc#:~:text=Discounts%20and%20Waivers
All the best.
If “Note that vouchers cannot be used after an invoice has been issued.”. Can I use the discount vouchers during the revision stage? How to apply it?
Hi,
Please reach out to the journal directly; you can find the editorial office email on the journal homepage. They will be able to help you.
All the best.
HI, Is it possible to use all the vouchers together or I can use only a limited number for one article? For example:
if I have 15 voucher of 100 CHF can I use all of the to pay one article of 1500 CHF?
Thanks,
Stella

All the best.
If I apply a voucher that is due to expire in a few weeks and if the reviewer takes longer than a few weeks to review and accept, do I lose the voucher? Or because I applied the voucher before it expired, will it still count?
Hi,
I would recommend reaching out to the editorial office directly. They will be able to answer your question.
All the best.
When I can use the vouchers? During the application? How? No options to use, as far as I see. Please explain in detail. Thank you!
Hi,
Please see this information, from this page: https://www.mdpi.com/about/apc_faq
“6. I have a discount voucher and I want to apply it to my paper. How do I proceed?
Discount vouchers will be shown under the Submissions Menu in the Discount Vouchers list. In order to be able to use all vouchers sent from MDPI, authors are allowed to link multiple emails to the current profile being used.
Please add your voucher code in the MDPI system when you submit your paper, then, you will automatically receive a reduction on the APC.
Note that vouchers cannot be used after an invoice has been issued. In case of rejection, the voucher can be reapplied in your next submission. If you are not sure how to apply your voucher, please contact the assigned editor.
Authors affiliated with participating universities receive up to one IOAP discount on the APC for any paper published in an MDPI journal which may be combined with reviewer vouchers.”
I hope this answers your question.
How to apply a discount voucher during the revision stage?
Hi,
Please reach out to the journal directly; you can find the editorial office email on the journal homepage. They will be able to help you.
All the best.
Until July 2024, I have been granted the discount vouchers for my review assignment. Afterwards, I also reviewed few papers, but I could not get any discount vouchers for them.
Hi,
Please email the journal or journals you reviewed for directly. They will be able to explain what has occurred to you.
All the best.
I have reviewed and published scientific articles in several different MDPI journals. How can I find out if I have any valid MDPI vouchers? Many thanks
Hello Peter,
Please login in to Susy and check the Submissions Menu. You’ll find this information under Discount Vouchers. Hope this helps.
Hi I have lot of reviewer’s vouchers but unfortunately 4 of them are expired recently can I use it now.
Hello Senthil-Nathan,
Unfortunately we do not have information on the expiry of vouchers. If you reach out to the journal you want to submit to, they are better able to give you an answer as to whether they will allow an expired voucher. My assumption is that this will probably not be allowed however. Hope this information helps.
It is suggested that the teachers and students who contribute to the mailbox of the institution give a discount, so that more people will pay attention to the mdpi journals.
Thank you for your feedback.
Revievers’ vouchers cannot be combined with institutional discounts.
I received today this piece of information: “Unfortunately, according to the policy, voucher discount can not be combined used with IOAP institution discount.”
Thanks for your interest, see https://www.mdpi.com/reviewers for details about how to sign up as a reviewer.
How, I can get the Disciunt Voucher for MDPI Journals ?
Yes, no problem. You can use more than one voucher per article.
Is it possible for the co-authors of a manuscript to use their own vouchers all together? or only corresponding author can use his vouchers?
If it is possible, how I can use the co-authors’ voucher alongside mine?
Co-authors can also use their vouchers, but the person who was issued the voucher must be an author
If I have two reviewers’ vouchers, can I use both for one article? For example, if the APC is 550 CHF, will I pay 350 CHF with these two vouchers applied?
I think this is not correct for all MDPI journals. Most of them provide a maximum 100 CHF for a timely review.
We have modified the amounts over time, but the principle of rewarding reviewers in this way has not changed.
