We help you prepare your own manuscript for an MDPI journal or special issue, using the MDPI template, complete back matter statements and a clean numbered reference list.

MDPI manuscript support at Shodhyantri helps scholars prepare papers for MDPI's open access journals, such as Sustainability, Applied Sciences, Energies, Materials, Sensors and many others. MDPI publishes under a Creative Commons licence and charges an article processing charge on acceptance. Its review process is known for short deadlines, so a manuscript that is complete and correctly formatted from the start saves you time at every stage.
We support PhD, M.Tech and Master's scholars across India and international authors. The study, data and conclusions remain your own. We format your paper in the MDPI Word or LaTeX template, help you draft the back matter statements, check references and edit the language. Changes come back in tracked form, and we point out where a reviewer will likely ask for more evidence.
MDPI provides journal templates in Word and LaTeX with a fixed order: title, authors, abstract as a single paragraph of about 200 words, keywords, then Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions, although some fields allow flexibility. References use a numbered style in square brackets, ordered by first citation. Submissions go through MDPI's own online submission system.
The back matter is distinctive. It typically includes Author Contributions using CRediT roles, Funding, Institutional Review Board Statement, Informed Consent Statement, Data Availability Statement, Acknowledgments and Conflicts of Interest. Many MDPI papers are submitted to special issues managed by guest editors, which have their own themes and deadlines but follow the same journal standards.
MDPI review and revision windows are short. A complete, well-formatted manuscript lets you spend revision time on reviewers' scientific points, not formatting.
Missing IRB, consent or data statements often trigger queries from the editorial office. We help you complete every heading accurately.
Guest editors look for papers matching the issue theme. We help you frame the introduction so the link to the theme is explicit and honest.
MDPI asks for a single-paragraph abstract that covers background, methods, results and conclusions. We restructure yours without adding headings.
MDPI typesets from your files, so blurry or crowded figures stay that way. We flag issues early so you can export better versions.
We edit and structure; you own the research. Every change is visible, and we never add results or claims you did not make.
Ten stages, each with a clear output. Nothing moves to the next stage until you have reviewed the last one.
— You review every stage first, then decide —
Confirm the paper fits the journal's aims or the special issue's stated theme before formatting starts.
Check styles, section order and front matter follow the current MDPI template without manual overrides.
Verify every back matter heading is present and filled accurately, using not applicable where it applies.
Confirm references are numbered by first appearance and every number has a matching entry.
Check figures are sharp, readable at page width and referenced in the text in order.
Prepare a clean source file structure so quick revisions are easy within MDPI's short windows.
Every stage is shared with notes explaining what was changed and why. You and your supervisor check it, and the next stage starts only after your go-ahead.
| Common problem | How Shodhyantri helps |
|---|---|
| Using an old MDPI template copied from an earlier paper. | Download the current template from the journal's instructions page, since MDPI updates styles and back matter headings over time. |
| Writing a structured abstract with headings for an MDPI journal. | Combine background, methods, results and conclusions into one flowing paragraph within about 200 words. |
| Deleting back matter headings that seem irrelevant to the study. | Keep each heading and write not applicable where it does not apply, so editors see it was considered. |
| Choosing a special issue whose theme only loosely relates to the paper. | Pick a special issue that genuinely matches your topic, or submit to the regular journal instead. |
| Numbering references alphabetically instead of by first citation. | Number references in the order they are first cited in the text, including citations in tables and figures. |
| Treating fast review as a sign the paper can be less complete. | Prepare methods, data statements and figures fully, since reviewers still assess rigour and may ask for major revisions. |
Note the guest editors' themes and deadline, then reflect the theme honestly in your introduction and keywords.
Keep data, code and figure source files organised so you can respond quickly when reviews arrive.
Confirm the current APC and any institutional discounts on the journal page, since charges apply on acceptance.
Check the journal's current Scopus or Web of Science status from those databases, not only the journal page.
Assign contributor roles that reflect real work, and agree them with every co-author before submission.
A clear data availability statement with a repository link strengthens trust and meets MDPI's data policy.
Retain editable source files for figures so reviewer-requested changes do not require rebuilding from scratch.
Cite only your earlier work that genuinely supports the paper; editors and reviewers notice padded citations.
Your work is handled by people who read your field's literature, not by a single generalist.
A PhD-qualified specialist from your field who checks the research logic, gap and contribution.
Handles statistics, models and qualitative coding, and documents every analytical decision.
Improves structure, flow, clarity and academic tone without changing your meaning.
Builds and validates MATLAB, Python, ANSYS or COMSOL work where your study needs it.
Checks grammar, consistency, numbering, citations and the small errors examiners notice.
Applies your university or journal template, reference style and front matter exactly.
MDPI journals are open access and known for quick review cycles. Quality and indexing vary by journal, so check the specific title in Scopus or Web of Science, read recent articles and confirm the scope fits. We help you weigh this honestly.
It is the set of statements after the conclusions: Author Contributions, Funding, Institutional Review Board Statement, Informed Consent Statement, Data Availability Statement, Acknowledgments and Conflicts of Interest. The exact headings follow the template. We help you complete each accurately.
MDPI journals charge an article processing charge after acceptance, since articles are free to read. The amount varies by journal and changes over time, so check the journal page. Some institutions have agreements that reduce or cover charges.
No. Special issue papers go through peer review like regular papers, and editors decide. Fast review does not mean assured acceptance. We help you prepare a complete, clear and well-formatted paper so it is judged on its research quality.
Yes. We work in the MDPI LaTeX template, including the bibliography setup, figures and tables, and fix compile errors such as missing packages. If you prefer Word, we use the Word template instead and keep MDPI styles intact.
It depends on the paper's length and how much editing it needs. Formatting a near-final paper is quicker than full language editing and restructuring. We give you a realistic timeline after seeing the draft and the special issue deadline.
No. This page covers preparing the manuscript. Responding to reviewer reports within MDPI's revision deadlines, tracking status and checking proofs are part of our MDPI publication support, which you can request when you receive reviews.
We provide research guidance, statistical analysis, editing, formatting and training support. All research content remains the scholar's own work, in line with UGC and university academic integrity norms. We do not guarantee publication, acceptance, indexing or academic outcomes: journals decide through peer review and universities award degrees.
Share your topic, draft or data. We will tell you honestly what it needs, and what it does not, before you pay anything.
