Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Studies into the role of dust and gas in the evolution of galaxies have received a major uplift with the advent of sensitive instruments and facilities such as the ALMA, Keck, and the VLT. To establish a major reference mark, we aim to explore the relationship between star formation, nuclear activity, and gas/dust in galaxies. We invite contributions to this Special Issue from the community that address the connection between the gas/dust and accreting supermassive black holes in quasar host galaxies, the nature of hot/cold molecular flows in quasars at different redshifts and across the electromagnetic spectrum, and the prospects of detecting first stars in galaxies in the timeframe of JWST.
Research on the panchromatic view of galaxies and their role in characterizing the cosmological ladder as proposed here fits neatly within the scope of the journal.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
