In 2003, MDPI took the
opportunity of the World Summit On
the Information Society (WSIS) to take an active role in promoting
Open Access on the world stage. Dr.
Francis Muguet, MDPI board member, is the chairman of the Civil
Society Working Group on Scientific
Information (SI) and the co-chairman of the Working Group on Patents & Copyrights(PCT). Dr.
Shu-Kun Lin, MDPI President, is a member of the steering committee. Among
the eight Nobel
Prize winners on the editorial boards of MDPI journals, three
accepted to be on the advisory
board. Recommendations in favor of Open Access have been recently
adopted by the WSIS in December 2003. For more information, please
