MDPI's Commitment to Advancing Open Access

Librarians play a critical role in advancing open access publishing — yet they often face heavy administrative burdens with limited resources.

MDPI's Institutional Open Access Program (IOAP) is designed to support them, offering streamlined workflows, flexible billing arrangements, and a dedicated institutional dashboard for tracking manuscripts and publications.

With open access now accounting for over half of published research articles worldwide, programs like the IOAP are an important step in reducing barriers for both institutions and researchers.

How the IOAP Helps Librarians MDPI's Institutional Open Access Program (IOAP) offers solutions to make it easier for authors to publish in open access journals.

Making healthy food choices is an essential aspect of keeping well. However, decision-fatigue may make it difficult to make the right choice, especially when the vast variety of options can feel overwhelming.

A review published in the Open Access journal Nutrients and mentioned in The Conversation explores how decision fatigue may impact food choices. Decision-fatigue remains a well-established psychological phenomenon with real mental and physical impacts such as exhaustion, reduced willpower, increases risk aversion and depleted mental energy.

Current studies suggest that lowered self-control can result in impulsive behaviours, such as making poor food choices. However, after carrying out extensive analysis of the current literature, the researchers found that the link between decision fatigue and food choices is significantly understudied.

The authors suggest that convenience cooking products could be a potential solution to facilitate decision making, however further research would be required to further investigate this.
