The MDPI submission system has been redesigned with author and editor needs in mind, featuring two significant enhancements: a rebuilt workflow that provides clear cost information throughout the process, and unified navigation across all MDPI platforms.

Redesigned Submission Workflow with Unified Navigation Design

The submission process at susy.mdpi.com now features a completely rebuilt workflow combining intuitive design with powerful integrity safeguards. Each step from journal selection and automated metadata extraction through integrity statements to final submission follows a logical sequence that streamlines the experience for authors and editors alike. 

The new interface guides both first-time and experienced users through manuscript upload to submission completion.

One improvement is complete cost transparency during the submission process: APC calculations, including all applicable discounts from reviewer vouchers, institutional partnerships (IOAP), and learned society memberships, display clearly before submission. Authors can plan budgets and secure funding with full cost certainty upfront.

Navigation panels across the submission system now share a consistent visual language with other MDPI platforms. While core functionality remains familiar, the unified design makes it easier to switch between browsing journals, managing submissions, and tracking publications.

Experience the New SuSy Interface

The enhanced system is available now. Authors can currently choose between the new workflow and the previous version, allowing time to explore the improvements. The new workflow will soon become the default for all users. We encourage researchers to try the new experience with their next submission.
