Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the remarkable success of the previous editions of this topic, entitled “Crystallization Process and Simulation Calculation” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/crystals/special_issues/crystallization_process2; https://www.mdpi.com/journal/crystals/special_issues/9LVS3K8K6Q; https://www.mdpi.com/journal/crystals/special_issues/23EZ8T6N09), we are pleased to announce the fourth edition.
The inherent challenges of strong coupling, nonlinearity, and large lagging in crystallization processes make designing robust, well-characterized processes for high-quality products demanding. The development of process analytical technology (PAT) for rapid, accurate inline/online measurements, alongside simulation technologies (e.g., molecular dynamics, hydrodynamics), provides multiscale insights. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) also offers powerful new approaches for process design and control, enabling advanced modeling, optimization, and real-time decision-making. These combined experimental, simulation, and AI/ML tools offer innovative strategies for designing and controlling crystallization processes, enabling the production of products with target quality attributes and predictable performance.
This Special Issue, titled “Crystallization Processes and Simulation Calculations, Fourth Edition”, serves to provide a platform for researchers to report results and findings regarding AI-enhanced crystallization process technologies, simulation and process analytical technologies, and relevant crystallization studies.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
