Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To systematically summarize the cutting-edge achievements and technological breakthroughs in the field of pharmaceutical crystallization, and to establish a communication platform bridging academia and industry, this journal specially organizes a Special Issue themed "Research Progress in Pharmaceutical Crystallization". This Special Issue collects high-quality innovative research in the field, aiming to promote the development of both the discipline and related industries. Pharmaceutical crystallization is a core unit operation in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its crystal structure and polymorphic properties directly regulate the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of drugs, and are closely associated with the performance of pharmaceutical formulations. Crystal quality directly affects the efficacy and safety of formulations, serving as a key link in drug research and development as well as quality control. Targeting researchers worldwide, this Special Issue covers basic research and industrial transformation achievements, including core directions such as pharmaceutical polymorph screening, pharmaceutical crystal morphology regulation, and pharmaceutical formulations, with a focus on crystallization technologies and their integrated applications in formulations. Guest-edited by renowned experts in the field, the Special Issue accepts research papers, reviews, and other types of manuscripts, so as to facilitate technological iteration and the integration of industry, university, and research.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
