Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern cosmological models are based upon the cosmological principle, which has by now been well confirmed by large-scale cosmic observations and background gravitational theory. To solve the corresponding field equations that govern the dynamics of the model, an additional ingredient is necessary, implying an ad hoc relationship between thermodynamic variables. Another possibility is to use geometrothermodynamics (GTD) to find fundamental thermodynamic equations that describe the universe as a thermodynamic system. This approach would essentially allow us to apply the laws of thermodynamics within a gravity theory to describe the universe’s evolution.
We would like to invite researchers to contribute articles on the applications of GTD, thermodynamic geometry, and classical thermodynamics in theoretical cosmology. Articles considering other aspects of the interplay between thermodynamics and gravity in cosmological configurations are also welcome.

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. Entropy 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 2600 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.
