Special Issue Information
Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are widely distributed in strata of different geological times and account for approximately two-thirds of sedimentary rocks around the globe. The formation and distribution of fine-grained sedimentary rocks are affected by tectonic depositional setting, provenance, climate, biology, hydrodynamic conditions, volcanic activity, and submarine (lake) hydrothermal activity, and the typical characteristics are large spatiotemporal variations, strong heterogeneity, multiple controlling factors, and large differences in laminar structure and combination types, which grealty complicate the deposition process and genesis.
In recent years, important progress has been achieved in lithofacies classification of fine-grained sedimentary rocks, fine-grained sedimentary sequence stratigraphy, paleowater depth and paleoenvironment, laminar structure and assemblage types, experimental sedimentology and sedimentary dynamic conditions of shale, and the main controlling factors of organic matter enrichment.
In order to gather display relevant research results in one place, this Special Issue on "Fine-Grained Deposition Process and Genetic Mechanism" is organized, and relevant researchers and scientists are welcome to contribute.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
