MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute)
Accelerating scientific discovery through AI-enhanced open access publishing and peer-review automation.
Empowering the global research community through open-access scientific publishing and a proprietary XML-first workflow.
Hindawi, now a fully integrated subsidiary of John Wiley & Sons, represents a cornerstone in the transition toward Open Science and digital-first scholarly communication. Its technical architecture is built around the 'Phenom' publishing system—a modern, end-to-end platform designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a manuscript from submission and peer review to production and dissemination. In 2026, Hindawi's market position is defined by its massive scale in the Gold Open Access sector, leveraging a decentralized editorial model that empowers global academic communities. Technically, the platform utilizes an XML-first production workflow, ensuring that research outputs are instantly machine-readable and highly discoverable via automated indexing across Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed. Following its acquisition by Wiley, Hindawi has undergone significant quality control overhauls, integrating advanced AI-driven integrity checks to detect paper mill patterns and citation manipulation. The platform's 2026 strategy focuses on 'Research Integrity at Scale,' using automated forensic tools to validate data sets and image authenticity, making it a critical hub for researchers requiring rapid, validated, and open-access publication within the physical sciences, medicine, and engineering disciplines.
