MDPI’s AI-powered tools

MDPI’s 2023 annual report lists AI-powered tools that the publisher says it has introduced or is developing:

  • Journal Finder recommends journals suited to a manuscript.
  • In-Scope Detector checks whether a submitted manuscript fits the journal it was submitted to.
  • Ethicality is a set of tools for detecting possible ethical breaches in a manuscript.
  • Atlas uses Neo4j to cluster research groups, find semantic relations and summarise literature on given topics.
  • Peer-Reviewer Finder identifies experts for peer review.
  • Article Recommender recommends similar articles to read.
  • Data Analytics is used mainly for market analysis and internal decision-making.

The report does not say which tools are live and which are still being developed.
