Can I use a standard licensed image as a cover image of an academic journal?

Here is an example. https://www.mdpi.com/files/uploaded/covers/ijerph/big_cover-ijerph-v19-i19.png

Up to 500,000 views are covered by Standard License. Beyond that, you need an Enhanced License.

Yes sure. the criteria however is that the print run stays under 500k (including e-books or similar). And a second criteria is, that the asset is not the main incentive to buy the item (like it would be with a mug). I cannot know how much your print run is, but for the second criteria, I'm pretty sure that you meet the requirement. 

Look here for more information on licensing: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock/links-for-licensing-terms/td-p/11366788
(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong. I'm not an Adobe employee).
